Dear Sam,
You seem experienced in embedded Linux (compiling custom kernels).
This is a field in which I gained a little experience, and this is how I
learned the most about the init process. And it is probably for this
reason that I became a Devuan fan at the beginning of this year. I guess
people must have some knowledge of init to have an opinion on how it
should be :-)
I, like you, have a great respect for the goals of the VUAs. I
admire their talent regarding both Debian and Cloud technologies.
Didier
