Hi Anto,

Thanks a lot for all your efforts on this.

There are still a few things to be done before I'd recommend using it
regularly (i.e. outside of a VM):
* finish the remaining device scripts (in particular, scripts for setting
up LVM).
* integrate vdev, mdev, udev, static /dev, and other device management
strategies into Devuan's alternatives system.
* fork Debian's initramfs-tools to use the alternatives system to figure
out which device manager's files (if any) to include in the initramfs.
* finish designing, writing and testing libudev-compat with applications
that depend on libudev0 or libudev1 (this one's pretty open-ended still).

I'm using it as the device manager in my copy of the alpha Vagrant image,
and others have tested it locally (but not for booting, AFAIK). I'm
working on getting it to boot the the qcow2 image, which boots from LVM.

Thanks,
