By my reading of the proposal, it doesn't change the default init system. It only proposes to ship systemd service file with every package that ships an init.d script, so if you don't want to change you don't have to. The release time can endorse this proposal and not make any decision on the default init system. If Gnome depends on gnome-settings-daemon, which now depends on systemd, this might be a worrying trend, as non-Linux kernels don't support systemd. -- Brian May <br...@microcomaustralia.com.au>
