Any proposals, upstart?
I don't think someone is going to seriously port upstart to FreeBSD either. But I don't see the problem, Debian has the choice. We're not going to drop system V init anytime soon. Providing both systemd, upstart as well as classical system V init leaves the up to the user and allows to support non-Linux kernels.
