I wasn't participating in those discussions. Maybe I should have. For
that, my friends, I am sorry. I am sorry to open a can of worms of
perhaps what is a sensitive issue with those of you who were involved in
the discussion and the exodus.
My gut feeling is that discussion is a waste of time.
I think you misunderstand. I want a yes or no answer. There is nothing
to discuss.

The reason I want to know about that is because if most Debian users are
desktop users, perhaps it's for the better that they went with systemd
as the default. It gives more credence to Devuan as the professional
choice.
I'd rather just keep doing what we're doing and working on a credible
alternative. The results will speak for themselves rather than more
rattling of empty tins.
I don't want rattling. Rattling is annoying anywhere including on my
car. Does anyone know?
Let's keep our eyes on the ball.
Of course. But I still want to know who to avoid and who can be trusted.
I am running their code on my systems and I don't have time to review it
all.
Are you saying that I should go scour mail archives? I just want to know
if it really was the case that Debian leadership used statistics to
decide on a systemd default - or not. If someone knows, please answer me
off list and perhaps be so kind as to provide a reference.
No discussion intended.
Thank you,
Simon
