I guess since the whole "Flatpak creating a dependency on systemd" bullshit has surfaced this week there has been some other conversations about systemd going on throughout the Fediverse.
I've seen some oblique references to Debian making an effort to make OpenRC more viable as an alternate init system. That's about all I've gathered on my hit-n-run timeline surfing the last several days. Not sure if this is an official Debian project or just someone's wish list.
Anyone have the skinny? Links to actual discussions?

@RootMoose@mastodon.bsd.cafe Last I heard (a couple years ago?) there was a discussion about making room for optional alternate init systems, and it was shot down. I have to reiterate (and forgive me for being preachy), that the conversation about systemd has to evolve beyond debating init systems, because systemd is not (merely) an init system. It's way, way more than that.
