You can't drop systemd-shim et al, that'd permanently disable Debian's the non-Linux ports.

Debian isn't going to do that any time soon.

I did not say Debian should drop it but "Debian derivatives" should and it would strike me as odd if they could not.

We all know that this yet another stunt by Ian is going to distract Debian's maintainers from preparing Jesse by forcing them to be debating this for atleast 2 weeks if not more and it would be a shame if Martin Pitt recent work [1] patching 215 in Ubuntu and reviewing some of Debian's patches cleaning them up in preparation for upstreaming would some how be stalled because of this political stunt of his.

systemd-shim doesn't even improve portability; the version current in jessie is only available for Linux since it depends on cgmanager, which is Linux-only. This GR is a total charade.
