Indeed, both are true. Devuan is about choice. Since Debian is quite
clearly providing the allternative of using systemd, the main effort
here is to provide tha lternative of not using systemd. The main part
of that effort is to remove systemd.

I think there are no serious objections to making systemd truly
optional, except for the severe limitation of manpower. That
trumps everything, and we leave the option of using systemd for Debian
to work on.

That's how I see it.
