Well, the official policy, insofar as there is one, appears to be that
Devuan is about choice. Therefore, it should make available (1) the
choice to do without systemd and (2) the choice to use systemd.

We split off because Debian has made it difficult to avoid systemd.

Given our limited manpower, we focus in (1).

We support potential devuan users who wish option (2) by having them use
Debian's installer, Debian's packages, and Debian's mailing lists, all
available directly from Debian's mirrors.
