[arch-general] SystemD poll

I think a poll is a good idea.
Remember it's not about whether or not you're allowed to use
initscripts/systemd, it's about what will become the default.
Sure, in the end it's the devs who get the final call, they're putting
in the work after all, but a poll can show whether the community
agrees with the devs decision.
Looking at the poll (and discussions) now, it seems that people are
generally in agreement with the developers and so I say we go ahead
with it.
Yes, there are also technical reasons/strong arguments for systemd,
but that's beside the point.
As Denis said: "the man with the will and skills to help makes the
rules", whether it's a good or a bad decision it's up to them.
You're not entitled to anything but an opinion.

And I'd like to remind those that feel strongly against systemd that
you can still run initscripts and make a package for it, submit
patches etc.
You just have to be careful on a clean install that you tick-off
systemd and tick-on initscripts.
