I read that as him referring not to the people who are "misinformed" but to the ones who are presently "uninformed", as in they don't even know that a transition is coming up - the people who probably wouldn't even notice the systemd transition happening unless they personally encountered a bug resulting from it. Those people certainly have "yet to learn of the facts", regardless of what those "facts" are. >> but otherwise have no reason to think something could change so >> drastically with Debian stable release. ;-) > > It's not yet clear that the init system *will* change for upgrades. Have there been developments on that front? The last discussion of that topic of which I'm aware was under bug 762194, which has seen no comments since September 21st. There has been ancillary or otherwise related discussion in bug 746578, and discussion of an upgrade-time transition prompt in bug 747535, neither of which has seen much activity in a similar time-frame. The last "state of discussion" I remember from bug 762194 was that the status quo, in which the transition will happen automatically due to existing package dependencies, was still prevailing. Since no further comments have been made there, I would presume that that remains unchanged.
