I like "init freedom" very much and think, that it's fully sufficient
resp. that it doesn't need any further comment (nor advice).

The only change I would suggest is to add a colon, that it reads:

    init: freedom

or, to stress the "command" style, while keeping the syntax intact:

    > init freedom█

with a (blinking?) cursor at the end, seducing to hit [enter]...

This, I think, would make it even more obvious, that Devuan stands not
only for the freedom to choose among a number of init systems, but that
the this very choice will have a much greater impact subsequently.
