Yes and no. This was discussed several months ago.

A huge priority of Devuan is to allow choice. However, because each
systemd-ism tends to restrict choice, Devuan has decided to simply
throw away the systemd-ism if a) It requires work to fit in, or b) it
hinders any kinds of other choices users might make.

Also there's this: Read the front page of devuan.org and read this:

"We are working towards a stable, production ready fork of Debian
Jessie, free from the entangling web of dependencies imposed by
systemd."

It's clear that, although choice is a huge priority, systemd is and has
always been and will always be a special case.
