No, rather freedesktop.org and Poettering are largely synonomous. Most
of what is proposed there lately is mostly either from Poettering or his
minions and a lot of what they propose is crap at best and destructive
to the non-systemd ecosystem at worst.

Devuan will continue to use an initramfs as a default is that is the
only sane approach that provides broad support for most use cases. But
of course we will support users being able to have the choice to build
there own initramfs free system too. They just have to build the
tooling needed for that approach as packages for devuan.
