Plus, libsystemd is also a static library which everything has to link against. I haven't messed with systemd for a while, but last I remember there was no dynamically shared object version of the library.

The purpose of Devuan was to promote software freedom and more specifically software choice. If systemd & Co. change drastically, which is clearly very unlikely to happen, it will be a completely another situation, and systemd & Co. may start forming part of a project like Devuan. In my humble opinion, this is the only way systemd to become a candidate worthy of consideration. Those who want systemd have already more than enough to choose from.
