For the records: the Debian community so far has not found any reason to
retire the rules generators, since they solve problems experienced by
our users base and do not cause significant troubles.
I plan to keep maintaining this code as long as it will be needed, and I
welcome coordination with other interested vendors.

This probably rules it out as a solution for Debian: there are serious
doubts that systemd will be ever adopted since it is actively hostile to
supporting the toy ports.
