a) I seriously doubt that that is possible, without effectively just re-writing
systemd

b) systemd's goalposts also move sufficiently fast that it would also be a
constant game of catch-up

c) where and how would you draw the line indicating what's unacceptable about
systemd - in other words, what exactly do you mean by "the Unix paradigm" in
your comment above?

True, but reimplementing it in some other way sounds to me as though you're
going to end up with the functionality we despise, just created with different
code?

Yes, but surely not to the same destination as the entire Devuan project is
trying to avoid?
