To: debian-devel-announce

The technical committee was asked in #727708 to decide which init
system would be the default init system for Debian. The decision is
below:

==== RESOLUTION ====

We exercise our power to decide in cases of overlapping jurisdiction
(6.1.2) by asserting that the default init system for Linux
architectures in jessie should be systemd.

Should the project pass a General Resolution before the release of
"jessie" asserting a "position statement about issues of the day" on
init systems, that position replaces the outcome of this vote and is
adopted by the Technical Committee as its own decision.

==== END OF RESOLUTION ====

Additional discussions regarding the technical policy necessary for
implementing this decision are anticipated and will be carried out via
the normal technical policy procedure.

Please see http://bugs.debian.org/727708 for discussion of
this bug.
