Personally, I like openrc more that sysv-rc, but as was already pointed,
sysv-rc already here and works, while pushing support for another init
system into ~1300 packages is hard.

And if current General Resolution will favor systemd-only vision of
Debian future, then it will become plainly impossible.

Tagging as wontfix.
