Thank you for putting the time and effort into an exemplary post. I agree we must move forward but respectfully disagree on the details.

The opportunity for preventing harm to Debian has passed. It is now time to code around the systemd blockage - whether in blends or derivatives or forks or Gentoo/Funtoo or the BSDs.

And exploring the various technical alternatives is *much* more interesting than trying to convert systemd believers.

I don't think anyone is trying to convert systemd believers to prefer anything other than systemd.

The only think I am seeing is people asking the systemd believers to be more accepting to other users, including ones who don't want to run systemd, or who have a need to not always run the latest (which includes kernel developers who are developing the next, because they need to compare to older versions)
