Positions forming in the Debian init system discussion

As a user, I'd expect them to interoperate.

> You are using the original definition for Linux and expect to get the same as with the modern definition. You can't. If you want to compare software at the same level, you have to take Gnome/Linux, KDE/Linux, Unity/Linux and whatever else there is.

Yeah, it reminds me of the good old joke the describes the Linux desktop situation pretty succinctly:

> I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "Stop! don't do it!"
>"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
> I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
> He said, "Like what?"
> I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"
> He said, "Religious."
> I said, "Me too! Are you christian or buddhist?"
> He said, "Christian."
> I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?"
> He said, "Protestant."
> I said, "Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?"
> He said, "Baptist!"
> I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?"
> He said, "Baptist church of god!"
> I said, "Me too! Are you original baptist church of god, or are you reformed baptist church of god?"
> He said,"Reformed Baptist church of god!"
> I said, "Me too! Are you reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?"
> He said, "Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!"
> I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.
