Looks like Debian's changing its democratic processes just to be able to boot out #systemd (or similar changes) in the future. Talk about not being able to take the outcome of a majority vote.

I expect #Debian to become even more conservative and weary of adopting anything remotely interesting than before. This may suit some, but it will certainly ensure that other distros get to set the direction of the wider ecosystem more, likely translating to a more vibrant stream of devs/users for them.
