Hi! I'm wondering here... Lets suppose I NEED to use sysvinit, with Debian 8.
If so, can I just run: `apt-get install sysvinit-core` to get rid of systemd as my INIT? If yes, will this be support until... Let's say, Debian kFreeBSD still remains around...? Also, why not have a system like "/etc/alternatives", or "dpkg-reconfogure alt-init" (just like "dpkg-reconfigure gdm/kdm"),so people can still choose between sysvinit / systemd as their default INIT? Maybe during install time!? Listen, I'm not a systemd-hater (or lover) but, I'm just saying that, for safety, I think we need to keep `sysvinit-core` working until ~2020. Just in case... I'm not saying NO to systemd, I'm just saying, not now (specially if it if brings some level of instability here and there)... Long life to Debian / Ubuntu! BTW, my first message to this list... :-) Thanks!
