+In #762194, the Technical Committee was asked to use its power under
+§6.1.4 to override the decision of the init package maintainers to
+depend on systemd-sysv as the first alternative dependency, thus
+ensuring 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 <87mwc9gfsw.fsf@xoog.err.no>[1], 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.
+
+==OPTION A==
+
+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.
+
+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 non-standard inittab
+ configurations which are unsupported in systemd.
+
+ c) Providing documentation on how to opt to remain with sysvinit on
+ both initial installs and upgrades.
+
+ d) Numerous bug reports and fixes by contributors who have tested
+ the systemd migration in their configurations.
