SystemD on Debian

[Christopher Browne]

People have doubtless heard of the "Debian Init controversy" <
https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/systemd>

The following two emails represent the summarization of voting on the
matter that took place the other day.

The technicalities of how they analyzed the votes to come to conclusion are
reasonably interesting.

All members of the committee voted on all the options, which led to various
"pairwise defeats" of a number of the options, bringing the feasible
options down to ( U, D ) (e.g. - Upstart and SystemD).  Chairman BDale held
a further deciding vote, which went to SystemD.

Relevant news today that is of interest; Mark Shuttleworth blogged <
http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316> that he will be asking for
Ubuntu to adopt SystemD as well.

When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the
question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
