To paraphase: The more Debian tightens its grip on systemd, the more
users will slip through their fingers.

Those users just need to know where to go. A simple informative post (a
sign post) to the thread will accomplish that.


"Devuan (https://devuan.org/) is a fork of Debian that removes hard
dependencies on init systems, ensuring the user is always free to choose
the one they want. If this sounds like what you want, please stop by and
introduce yourself."


We'll be happy to take the init freedom refugees, and Debian will be
glad to be rid of the anti-systemd whiners they don't want to serve.
It's always nice when things work out win-win like this.
