    especially the adoption of systemd that was decided by only 4 people back around 2014. lol

      Where did you pull that number from? https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_initsystems/results.txt

      The smallest difference between a systemd option and a “not-only-systemd option” I see is

      Option 2 defeats Option 4 by ( 211 - 177) = 34 votes.

      And bear in mind that condorcet selects the most agreeable option, not just the majority option.

      And it makes sense: the most likely contender at the time was upstart, which didn’t stand the test of time AFAIK (I don’t think the systemd hater crowd still uses that)

      So it ended up the right decision. Would they have decided differently if other good init systems had existed already? Maybe, but they didn’t.

        Nothing, really, is stopping them from making it easier to use other init systems.
