+===== TITLE
+
+Transition plan to systemd by default
+
+===== WEB SUMMARY
+
+The committe states that it is in agreement with the transition plan
+proposed by the systemd maintainers, and appreciates the effort of
+Debian Developers and contributors to mitigate any issues with the
+transition
+
+===== EMAIL INTRO
+
+In #762194, the Technical Committee was asked to consider the
+transition plan of the init package maintainers to have both new
+installs and upgrades use systemd by default.
+
+1. The CTTE determined in #727708 that systemd should be the default
+   init system in Debian. 
+
+2. In https://lists.debian.org/87mwc9gfsw.fsf@xoog.err.no, the
+   maintainers of the init package announced their transition plan for
+   migrating to systemd as the default init system on both installs
+   and new upgrades.
+
+3. The init package (and other related packages) currently in jessie
+   implement this transition.
+
+===== EMAIL EPILOGUE
+
+The committe would like to thank everyone who participated in the
+discussion of #762194.
+
+===== DECISION
+
+Using its power under §6.1.5 to make statements:
+
+3. The CTTE affirms the decision of the init system package
+   maintainers to transition to systemd by default on upgrades and to
+   install systemd by default on new installs.
+
+4. The CTTE appreciates the effort of Debian contributors to mitigate
+   any issues with the transition by:
+
+   a) Providing a fallback boot entry for sysvinit when systemd is the
+   default init in grub (#757298)
+
+   b) Developing a mechanism to warn on inittab configurations which
+   are unsupported in systemd. (#761063)
+
+   c) Providing documentation on how to remain with sysvinit on
+   upgrades and switch to sysvinit upon installation.
+
+   d) Numerous bug reports and fixes by contributors who have tested
+   the systemd migration in their configurations.
+
+5. The CTTE advises (without overriding any Debian contributor,
+   maintainer, or team) that any such mitigations should be included
+   in jessie, to ensure a smooth transition for Debian users.
