This is *such* good news. You're putting your money where your mouth
is: Unavailablity of systemd as a crutch means you're now the real deal.

When DebianFork.Org went up in the fall of 2014, a person could be
forgiven for thinking this project was a bluff, by the anonymous
"Veteran Unix Admins", to influence Ian Jackson's GR:

Now, 20 months later, Devuan doesn't use systemd, even as a shim or
crutch. People are using Devuan as a daily driver desktop or an
important server. And I think one could make a very credible case that
today, the Devuan community is more trustworthy and perhaps more
skilled than the Debian community it forked.
