Yes, the init.

Of course.

But everyone is *still* opining/wondering/chatting/bickering about
just how many different 'options' (because that is what it is all
about) Devuan should have for the default init software.

Is it so hard to understand that 'options' are absolutely worthless
to a dead-as-a-doornail distribution?

Meanwhile at Debian HQ, long knives are being patiently sharpened for
the oncoming Devuan+derivatives carnage.

The writing has been on the wall for the longest time.
