It's one thing to have a rollback plan for which desktop experience is
shipped by default; that touches a handful of closely related packages.
It's quite another to try to roll back an init system change, which touches
every single package that's involved with system startup and requires
changes across a very broad set of foundations, desktop, and server
packages.

And for what?  Why are we eager to invest that time in switching to
something which, contrary to the propaganda, isn't actually superior to
upstart?
