Then be happy: the result of the vote is a clear majority of Debian developers saying "no more politics on this init topic" (by rejecting this GR as uneeded).

Then be happy: the result of the vote is a clear majority of Debian developers saying "no more politics on this init topic" (by rejecting this GR as uneeded). In all group of a given size there's bound to be some amount of politics, even if it's desirable to keep it low. What's specific to Debian is that 1) it's big 2) it's fully open. That makes any emotionally loaded discussion noisy and widely heard. One just has to understand, accept and keep cool about this. Sausage taste best when you don't know how they're made for sure, but I still like the Debian sausage anyway ;)
