+    A maintainer recently peremptorily removed support for upstart
+    from one of their packages.
+
+    The Technical Committee thanks Steve Langasek for bringing this
+    matter to our attention.  We are pleased that the maintainer has
+    agreed to revert the disputed change.
+
+    For the record, the TC expects maintainers to continue to support
+    the multiple available init systems in Debian.  That includes
+    merging reasonable contributions, and not reverting existing
+    support without a compelling reason.
