Hi Arne,

here you have people who had been with Debian for much more than 10
years, and all have switched to Devuan without much pain, and surely
without regrets.

So maybe you don't need to wait until the next problem with systemd
arises. Just take a deep breath, close your eyes, and jump ;)

"upgrading" from Debian to Devuan is officially supported so far only
for Jessie (i.e., from Debian woody/jessie to Devuan Jessie). In
theory, it shouldn't be too difficult to convert a Debian stretch into
a Devuan ASCII, but I have not tried it so far. Maybe somebody else
has good news on that front.

It is quite possible that an official safe upgrade path will be
provided also between Debian stretch and Devuan ASCII, as ASCII
becomes stable.
