     Dear Anto,


     Your question was technical and my answer too but I got the feeling 
it triggered this very long political discussion. I more or less agree 
with the two opposed POVs and I remember that almost the same debate 
happened two or three months ago on practically the same subject.Hence 
the suggestion to stop it.

Actually systemd doesn't match this requirement, so, devuan will not support it as long it doesn't radically change. Anyway we will not intentionally obstacle anyone that eventually want to use it outside officia devuan release.


     Dear Nextime,


     This statement is balanced and sensible. I suggest it be written 
somewhere on the web site of Devuan, so that when this question arises 
again, the answer be simply a link to the official statement e basta.


     Kindly yours.
