What difference does it make whether the decision is made before or after the freeze? An excerpt from http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/10/msg00004.html Proposed Release Goals ====================== The call for release goals has finished and we have received the following proposals: * Native systemd support in every package with sysv scripts * Hardening of ELF binaries (carry over from Wheezy) * debian/rules to honor CC/CXX flags * clang as secondary compiler * piuparts clean archive * Cross Toolchains in the archive * Make the base system cross-buildable * SELinux * UTF-8 We have yet to process these goals listed above; for now they remain only proposed release goals for Jessie. We will be reviewing them and talking to the advocates about them. Accepted goals will be announced later. Would I be correct in assuming that progress towards the implementation of a decision on a future init system would depend on the first goal being attained? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
