Seeing as we still don't have a complete set of plugs for switchboard (and that seems to be a much simpler task), I wouldn't expect anything we start now to be ready for Isis unless we could hire someone to work on it full time.




Regarding systemd/upstart, I imagine that and Wayland will be the things that make moving to Debian really click. But that's another discussion. It's only relevant as far as saying I don't like tying ourselves to Ubuntu here ;)

Cheers,
