I've been wondering what Debian proposes or has in place to figure out
what the needs of the users are.  And perhaps someone can explain in
which way the users were considered when the decision was made that
systemd shall become the default init system for Debian.

Once that has been explained, the users can decide whether they have
been sufficiently considered or not in this decision.  What is Debian
proposing or what does it have in place to become aware of such decision
of the users so that Debian can act accordingly?  What are the users
supposed to do when they feel that they haven't sufficiently been
considered?

Or do you mean to say that allowing the users to decide whether they
have been sufficiently considered or not would put them in charge too
much?


OTOH, how can the users be the priority when they aren't in charge?  And
being in charge means responsibility in the first place.
