"Devuan is born for a simple goal: having a systemd-free debian jessie
to preserve freedom choice on init and decoupling between init and the
rest of the system ... initially, it will NOT be a complete fork, but
just a complete infrastructure to distribute a personalized version of
debian jessie, testing and unstable where some packages from us will be
pinned up on top of the debian repositories..."

towards minimalism and continuity.
