Yes I've only been reading the list as a lurker up to now.

I don't think it's that bad, and, despite my asking nobody can tell me
why it is.

Huh? if a depends on b which depends on c which depends on libsystemd0
then only c needs modification to remove that dependancy, not a or b.

One of the reasons LKCL's post was met with such derision was his claim
that over 4000 packages depended on libsystemd0, when the real number is 74.

I decided to post to the list because it seems to me that you're all
fiddling around with cosmetic parts of the problem (remove libsystemd0,
replace udev and so on) while ignoring the huge steaming elephant turd
in the middle of the room -- logind.

Without a functional replacement for logind then Devuan is doomed.
