Most of our users don't care as long as their machines continue to work as expected after an upgrade. So, when upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie, we have three options: 1) Keep the user init system (sysvinit most probably) 2) Upgrade to systemd after asking the user. 3) Upgrade to systemd silently without asking the user. I believe that the actual option (number 3) is going to cause much breakage than the other alternatives. Also, as I already expressed on bug #747535 this is not something I would expect from Debian. I expect Debian to be rock solid stable and to have painless upgrades from one version to the next. The conservative (and safe) option is 1. I understand that we want users to switch to systemd, so proper testing is done and bugs are reported. So option 2 is a good compromise. By asking users, each one can decide if he wants to risk to try systemd or not. For example: I will try systemd on my laptop, but not on a remote server that only is accessible via ssh.
