+Standards Wars</a> (PDF 25 pages). I recommend it for everyone
+following the standards wars of today.</p>

-<p>The last few days a new boot system called
-<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd">systemd</a>
-has been
-<a href="http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html">introduced</a>
-
-to the free software world. I have not yet had time to play around
-with it, but it seem to be a very interesting alternative to
-<a href="http://upstart.ubuntu.com/">upstart</a>, and might prove to be
-a good alternative for Debian when we are able to switch to an event
-based boot system. Tollef is
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/580814">in the process</a> of getting
-systemd into Debian, and I look forward to seeing how well it work. I
-like the fact that systemd handles init.d scripts with dependency
-information natively, allowing them to run in parallel where upstart
-at the moment do not.</p>
-
-<p>Unfortunately do systemd have the same problem as upstart regarding
-platform support. It only work on recent Linux kernels, and also need
-some new kernel features enabled to function properly. This means
-kFreeBSD and Hurd ports of Debian will need a port or a different boot
-system. Not sure how that will be handled if systemd proves to be the
-way forward.</p>
-
-<p>In the mean time, based on the
-<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg00122.html">input
-on debian-devel@</a> regarding parallel booting in Debian, I have
-decided to enable full parallel booting as the default in Debian as
-soon as possible (probably this weekend or early next week), to see if
-there are any remaining serious bugs in the init.d dependencies. A
-new version of the sysvinit package implementing this change is
-already in experimental. If all go well, Squeeze will be released
-with parallel booting enabled by default.</p>
