Sorry for interrupting, but I was wondering whether this discussion is
useful at all to Devuan. Please don't get me wrong: you are free to
continue, but really, what's the point?

systemd is a reality, and making sad or smart jokes about it does not
make it more palatable, or less of a threat.

A modest proposal: if people have some time to spare for Devuan, it
would be useful at this point to start testing all the possible
upgrade paths to Devuan Ascii, e.g., a) from Debian Jessie, b) from
Devuan Jessie, c) from Debian Stretch, with as many different
configurations as possible, and report any issue they find to
http://bugs.devuan.org. Even upgrades of VMs would be informative.

TIA
