I have no knowledge of the origin of this thread, probably having to do
with my .procmailrc /dev/nulling certain people. But I have a very
clear message about this thread's subject: There's no place in Devuan
for init system agnosticism if such agnosticism includes a tolerance
for systemd.

Once installed, systemd makes it 50 times harder to install other
inits. And even though there may currently be Debian
package-manager-foo that can do it, there's never a guarantee that will
survive.

Systemd actively sabotages the ability to replace it, whereas no
other inits do that (that I know of). It would be stupid of Devuan to
allow systemd into their software.
