In a futile effort to forestall pointless and unproductive "opinions" and the debatable 'right' of, people/users of the work of others, to hold and "express" them (pissing up a rope?). A. The decision *was* made by Debian developers, as it should be. Those that do, get to make decisions about how they do 'it' - those that use, feel free to use elsewhere - or do their own fork instead of getting others to do it for them. B. Those that object - you're flogging a dead horse, the decision *has* been made. Rail elsewhere, take your ball and go home, move on etc. C. It's the *default* init system for *Jessie*. Emphasis on default, Debian's commitment to choice remains unaltered. NOTES: I'm not commenting specifically on your post James, it's just an arbitrary point in the thread to inject *my* opinion in support of the decision by Debian Technical. Apropos of little - interesting how many of the, um, most passionate views are expressed by those that *don't* use Debian.... (have deep emotional commitment will travel?). If it's relevant - I don't prefer systemd, but I do prefer and support the Debian way.
