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 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. -- 2.39.5
