Dear Steve,
I think Devuan, being about freedom of choice and autonomy of
admin, has something to do with DIY. And for this reason you can find
some fans of it here :-)

Do you know what that program is doing? And what of it cannot be
done by a script?
For me, the ideal DIY init is a script. I think the shell languages
are just missing a high quality signal handling for scripts to be
eligible as init. Adding the primitives to use the Linux signalfd in a
shell language is maybe the only missing bit to reach that graal.
