Thanks for that info.

Fair enough, but how and when will that announcement be made?

I'm still thinking about making a once-and-for-all change to 'stable' 
rather than to 'jessie'. Presunable 'stable' remains mapped to wheezy 
until they are happy that everything is working OK under jessie. I don't 
much mind when the change happens as I don't use fully automatic 
updating. I do updates as an explicit, weekly "backup then update" action 
and I'm not bothered about the change to systemd since Fedora's last four 
releases have used it and it pretty much 'just works' for me.
