Rationale:

At this point, I don’t think that it is useful anymore for Debian to spend energy on supporting several init systems. I believe that experimentation is useful, that Debian should support it, but that it does not need to happen inside Debian. Interested people can work on derivative distributions, or even just maintain a small set of packages installable on top of Debian that will add support for alternative init systems where needed.
