There’s a huge difference between being able to switch between window managers and to switch between init/kernel/libc. The former gives users a different experience, which might answer to specific needs and make the distribution better (note the “might” – I’m pretty sure it does not apply to all of the 70+ WMs we ship). Being able to choose between kernels or init systems doesn’t bring anything per se. > "640kb ought to be enough for anybody." :) “Shell init scripts ought to be enough for anybody, so let’s fuck those modern init systems that use a decent format.” > Linux is still not about choice?
