That wasn't what I was saying at all. I think something got lost in the
top-posting.

All I said was that individual users could, if they'd like, alt-init
their Devuan machines. And I also later said that if we alt-initters
made good notes, then if and when Devuan decided to switch to a
different init (*one* different init), they'd have a path to follow.

I said nothing about who would make/maintain init scripts, run scripts,
Epoch config files, etc. That's a question for much, much later.
