People are too use to having everything done for them to consider
READING. Maybe, if the Release Notes were in video format, or an
app on their phone. ;-)

I consider the systemd decision rushed, and its inclusion in Jessie
as the default init premature.  It lacked maturity.  At least, for
Debian.  It should have been delayed one development cycle, at
least, but made available for Jessie as an option for user evaluation
and feedback before the final decision. But when you have major OS
components and applications that have systemd parts (not necessarily
the init part) as dependencies, what choices do you have?

When I look back on all this, I wonder:  Who got bribed and by whom?
