The different init system currently available on the market are really
"too different" to each other, but this does not mean that we
shouldn't try to find a way of providing the user with the possibility
of choosing which init system to use at config time, and possibly to
swap init systems on demand. This will probably require a lot of work,
but IMHO this is the niche where Devuan has something new to say, and
to show.
