Hello,
I think that is terrible idea, because it makes us release a system
that is lot less tested than it should be. If only fresh installs were
using our default init system this part would only get very limited
testing pre-freeze. The number of systems running testing or even
unstable is going to be a lot higher than the number of people doing
fresh installs from a d-i alpha or beta version.
