..what devuan does not support, is the ability to offer a newbie
the option to "try another init system" without having to reinstall
everything after finding pain with systemd onboard.

..one way of "offering systemd", could be point to Debian.org and
"warn about having to reinstall everything if you wanna come back",
maybe advice on the wisdom of putting /home, /usr/local etc on their
own file systems, rather than "everything on /."
