Very likely yes. But still the largest number of all is probably server
admins. Linux is mostly a server OS anyway, and desktop users probably
care less about the init system than server admins do.

YES!

The suggestion of the OP was not to drop Gnome, but to avoid a delay by
"get Devuan up and running with DEs/WMs that are not so entangled with
systemd, then tackle Gnome once the basic structure is in place".

Does anybody have an idea how many server admins, and how many desktop
users are interested in Devuan?
