I ran Debian from Bo through Stretch.  I had no real problems upgrading
through the releases until I got to Buster.  Then I hit a wall.  It MAY
be possible to run a very minimal system (with no chance of running X)
and still avoid systemd.  While I have been told that this is the case,
I have no personal evidence of this.

That is what caused me to switch to Devuan.
