    Reading the web sites, it seems Kaos lives in a collapsing biotope.

    Their choices are very far of Devuan's. Their OS is KDE. It is
based on Systemd-Linux because they haven't an alternative.

    Their choices are:

    1) only one DE: Plasma. Plasma forces Systemd, but they didn't care
up to now.

    2) no usrmerge, not for ethical reasons but by some necessity.
Except that now Systemd forces the usrmerge.

    They plan to survive with another KDE-based DE instead of Plasma,
and get rid of Systemd in favor of some obscure init system while there
are several known good ones -- looks strange. Anyway who knows how long
KDE is going to work without Systemd? Good luck.

     In reality, they don't drop Systemd: it is Systemd which drops them.
