Even more to the point, unlike Debian, with Devuan Alpha 2 you can run
an OS whose PID1 isn't systemd. I think tying everything else to PID1
was most peoples' major complaint, although by now most of us want to
completely purge the init that shall not be mentioned.

Man, and they do hate, don't they. On my local LUG I posted how I
created LittKit to give Daemontools ordered startup capability, never
mentioning any init system, and right away it turned into a cheering
session for systemd, and dissing of anyone who wasn't with the program.
Sheesh, all I did was write about Free Software to make daemontools
more capable.

Yeah, that's why I'm proud to be friends with you guys.
