I've been trying very hard to not get involved in this, but I feel the need to poke my head up to give this a very strong +1. For the same reason the chances of me uploading the kernel approach zero, there's no reason I need to vote on the init system. In fact, by the tone of the discussions we've had on the topic I have very little confidence in a GR leading to a decision being made on technical merits. It's time to let the tech-ctte do their constitutionally mandated job.
