There *is* a reason we should push our users away from the

init: we want to make sure that only the users who specifically
*want* a
non-default init run one, and those are exactly the users prepared
to
deal with the additional challenges and support issues with doing
so.
Uers who don't care should end up running the default init system.
It's
easy enough for any user who *does* care to select a different set
of
installed packages.
Hi Josh and everybody,
how about the following heuristic:
on systems where appropriate task-desktop metapackages are installed,
migrate automatically; on other systems, ask.
I think that it would minimise the total number of people who a)
break their
desktop systems or block their upgrade by being afraid to migrate and
b) break their server with an unsupervised migration.
Said differently, judging from what is written in the long threads
here, people who do not want systemd seem to be running servers or
exotic desktop systems, so how about only sending a debconf prompt in
these cases ?
Is it not possible to tell if the sysvinit or upstart packages were
installed manually, and give a prompt then (in addition to something
like you described) ?
Best,
