The real news is that Debian has two great open-source sysv init replacements available. And no real compelling need to choose between them soon. This is certainly not the precursor to an implied (and purely imaginary) Debian-Ubuntu divorce.
one of the many reasons I just like Debian. Specially "Debian's governance is specifically set up to encourage inaction when there is a lack of consensus."
