Resolution: Init Systems and systemd'; see reference [1].<br>
<br>
While it may *currently* be "trivially straightforward" for many/most <br>
Debian users to replace systemd init and its dependencies using the <br>
helpful hints Rick M described in 'Debian 8 "Jessie" OpenRC <br>
Conversion'[2], the same may *not* be necessarily true going forward <br>
should the Debian Project adopt "Proposal C Choice 3: Focus on systemd for <br>
Init System and Other Facilities"<br>
Non-systemd purists might then reconsider one or more of the non-systemd, <br>
Debian-based Linux distros listed in reference [3], namely MX Linux, <br>
antiX, Devuan GNU+Linux, etcetera.<br>
<br>
OTOH, I can easily imagine someone such as Benno Rice more actively <br>
reaching out to *non*-systemd advocates among Debian Project <br>
members/voters (as Benno did as described and presented in references [4] <br>
thru [6] directed to the FreeBSD community) to convince the latter to <br>
ultimately reject from within [1] the 'Proposal A Choice 1: Affirm Init <br>
Diversity'.<br>
Maybe even using a spoken and deceptive ruse such as "I come to *bury* <br>
systemd init, not to praise it", alluding to Mark Antony's famous Funeral <br>
Speech in William Shakespeare's tragedy _Julius Caesar_ starting at ~1 <br>
minute into the YouTube video [7] :\<br>
