Essentially there are just two options:
- 'fascism'
- 'freedom'
And 'freedom' option, if selected by majority, should be followed by separate poll regarding the actual preferred approach.
(I'm not arguing against systemd here, for Debian the best is probably to stick with systemd, there are distributions that provide better freedom and less excluding environment for developers and sysadmins)
I'm going to ignore that obvious trolling attempt with "fascism" and "freedom" and just say that Debian general resolutions use ranked voting via the Schulze method, and as such, if enough people rank "systemd" as their lowest preferred option (i. e. place all "diversity" options, in any order, above "systemd"), then it won't matter if "systemd" gets the plurality.Last edited by intelfx; 07 December 2019, 11:15 AM.
