Today's Debian technical committee resignation: Ian Jackson

Thanks for making sure this GR happened and seeing it through to the end. Where before I was told I was just part of a very small minority and I should just roll over or go away, the results tell me Debian, as a project, still cares about the fate of alternative inits.

I feel like my concerns have been listened to, and my reservations expressed. The actual outcome means nothing concrete has been changed, but at least systemd has not been unanimously voted "King of Debian." The DDs have spoken, and as far as democracy goes, I'm pretty happy with the results.

Sure I'm still in the minority, but now that it's been quantified it's sizable enough for me to feel comfortable with and stay with Debian: something I wouldn't have known without the GR.

Majorities are for squares anyway.

Thanks again for the hard work of representing an unpopular and controversial opinion, and dealing with all the ad-hominem unpleasantness that goes with that.
