Hi Anto, Like you, I would be distressed if, *in the long run*, Devuan included systemd-dependent packages in the main distribution. If anyone want's Gnome for Devuan, let that be in a "contaminated" repository (and yes, that's what I believe it should be called), and let people use it at their own risk, with no support from mainstream Devuan. After all, if all you want is a non-systemd init, you can do that in an hour by laying down Epoch, on Debian or Ubuntu or for gosh sakes RedHat, and copying the Epoch executable over /sbin/init and /usr/sbin/init. The preceding not withstanding, my impression is that, currently, Devuan's "powerful people" are all very anti-systemd and are working tirelessly to remove the last vestiges of systemd.
