I was envisioning Devuan people making the defs and runscripts, not the
authors of the init systems. It would be crazy for us to think you, or
someone in your position, would write AND MAINTAIN between 30 and 200
run scripts. That's crazy. What wouldn't be crazy would be for two or
three Devuan people to write and maintain a fleet of s6 run scripts.

Truth be told, I was envisioning *myself* as one of those people.
