Using the same argument, forking would seem like a horrible idea if there isn't active maintainers.

Until I saw that line, I was thinking: well quit talking about doing it, and just do it!

The idea of a non-systemd distribution in general is something I've been expecting to pop up for a while. And if the vocal people online represent a real desire not to switch, then one really should exist. Beyond that I'm rather uninterested in such a project one way or another.

The trouble here is that the bulk of the work is just maintaining a changeset to debian packages. They haven't even spun up dak and friends, so I'm assuming this is DOA for now. It seems like a lot of hot air to pressure debian, or at the least attract contributions that can maintain their fork. Is "fork" a scary word to any DD, considering debian is already the upstream distribution for other, more popular, derivatives?

There's already plenty of them.
