Many years ago, someone with a lot of life lived told me that one has
to learn (as early in life as possible) to choose which battles to
fight because a lost/unfought battle does not mean the war is lost.

It took me more than a few futile/unnecessary battles to understand
his words and 40+ years later I often wish I had grasped their
meaning the very instant he pronounced them.

Today, Devuan is under siege and the projects very survival is at
stake.

ie: a futile and unnecesary battle not even worth considering.

While each of the the pro/con arguments may be valid, the truth is
tthat the battle for survival will be won *only* if the Devuan
project can effectively and efficiently dodge the systemd / lack of
Debian sysvinit scripts bullets.

All this is getting so old ...

When evuan loses all the packages it needs to the lack of sysvinit
scripts, the /USR merge won't matter.

The project will be dead in the water.
