snapshot of an OS, with a view to keeping that chroot environment
pretty much forever, and to run all other applications in some
abortion-of-a-method (firefox, libreoffice) with up-to-date binaries.
the fact that TDE *HAS NOT* been affected by one of the saddest and
most damaging events ever to occur in the history of free software is
one of its saving graces.

It seems extraordinarily unlikely that Tim would make such a mistake but
if TDE broke sysvinit support or required systemd we would be unable to
continue with TDE, just as we now use Devuan instead of Debian. Do people working on Trinity really want to
alienate people who use systemd-free distros?
Of course not, but resources are limited. Someone competent would have to
come forward and commit to handle the extra work that supporting multiple
init systems entails.
