Yes, AntiX is a really interesting project. The thing is that it is
relatively easy to be systemd-free without supporting any Desktop
Environment (they have support for a few WMs, but apparently no DE)
and offering a live system for x86 only. Devuan could have gone that
way, but decided to remain a universal operating system ;)

AFAIK AntiX was actually using Devuan's repos for de-systemd-ised
packages (dunno if they still are), so apparently they managed to find
us ;)
