I am very uncomfortable with GRs being used to set technical policy. We have never before has a GR that did so. It can lock us into technical decisions which we then need a whole other GR process to get us out of. And mass voting on technical minutia is no way to run a distribution. Why not just make your proposal be something along the lines of reaffirming the technical decision-making process as it currently stands, from the package maintainers, to the policy, to the TC. It could implicitly or explicitly reaffirm both recent TC decisions on init systems. -- see shy jo
