thanks for writing down such a clear statement on the matter, its
helping us to complete the release announcement which now includes
this section about Init Freedom:

""

At last, Devuan is about choice. We think people should be able to
choose whether to use a GNU+Linux system with or without systemd.

Two and a half years ago Devuan decided to split off because Debian
has made it difficult to avoid systemd, ignoring the needs of half of
its population.

Devuan is a new start, growing with your help and donations, but still
with limited resources compared to Debian, so we focus on providing
the missing alternative: a GNU+Linux system without systemd.

We support potential Devuan users who wish to use systemd by having
them use Debian's installer, Debian's packages, and Debian's mailing
lists, all available directly from Debian's mirrors.
