Hello Everybody,

I know that Devuan is not even at the alpha release yet. So I don't have
any intention at all here, to ask the nasty question about the release
date. Everybody involved in Devuan development are already really busy,
so it is really evil to ask that.

Some questions came up in my mind on the first day I found Devuan. A few
minutes ago I have just tried to switch to Devuan repository. And those
questions came up again after I saw especially libsystemd0 and
init-system-helpers on the output below. That didn't actually surprise
me as I am quite sure that Devuan development is still in progress. So
this will happen until the initial release of Devuan. But I think I
still have to ask the questions.

Will Devuan be really free from systemd and its components? Or will
there be trade-off being applied so that some of systemd components will
be used in Devuan?

Kind regards,

Anto
