Hi Hendrik,

I have been using Devuan on my production laptop in the last few
months, without any problem. Indeed, nothing major has changed between
my old Debian Jessie with systemd pinned to -1 and the current Devuan
Jessie. Just a few packages were upgraded, smoothly.

I admit my installation is not what most people would call a "standard
desktop" though (basically, Window Maker + emacs + standard ncurses
clients + iceape and little more), and I am not using any network
daemon, except for ssh and cups, but everything works pretty well.

libsystemd0 is still there, due to the (practically useless) rdepend
of cups-daemon, which I cannot unistall, but apparently that nuisance
shall be removed in the forthcoming Devuan beta.

Come on Hendrik, it's time to jump in the hole ;)
