Where did you pull that number from? https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_initsystems/results.txt
The smallest difference between a systemd option and a “not-only-systemd option” I see is
Option 2 defeats Option 4 by ( 211 - 177) = 34 votes.
And bear in mind that condorcet selects the most agreeable option, not just the majority option.
And it makes sense: the most likely contender at the time was upstart, which didn’t stand the test of time AFAIK (I don’t think the systemd hater crowd still uses that)
So it ended up the right decision. Would they have decided differently if other good init systems had existed already? Maybe, but they didn’t.




Yeah, no matter the truth content of this piece of tinfoil, the vote I linked shows that systemd continued being agreeable among voters.
The handful of conspiracy myth believers are now on Devuan if that still exists. Presumably mad about something else that exists only in their head.
