So ... how did you originally install that runit system?
Did the Devuan installer just let you choose runit and
everything went smoothly?
Did you install with the usual sysvinit and convert afterward?

How good is the runit support in Devuan? Does it have runit's
PID 1 but defer to existing sysvinit scripts for many of the
service directories? Is the sysvinit service supervisor started
as a runit service?

How easy is it to move *completely* from a Devuan sysvinit
system to an entirely runit-based one?
