You might find it interesting that I'm a desktop user, or perhaps a
workstation user.

OK, thanks for showing me up.
If I were you, I'd take help wherever you find it. Your proposed wedge
would split Devuan as much as anything else.
It doesn't seem to be hurting BSD any. Or do those projects just attract
more serious people?
Is that really the case? Did the Debian leadership do a poll to find
out what their users wanted and who were their typical users?
Hell no! As a matter of fact, they made it a point not to listen to
their users.
Thanks for this insight.

Thank you for this insight as well.
I guess it's similar to the way I see most operating systems. For
example, most *BSD's do not have a desktop agenda. IMHO, it therefore
can be said to be a safe choice for servers.
As you said it doesn't break down that way. I apologize for thinking
desktop users are not interested in non-systemd systems.
I am happy with Debian 7 on my notebook, but I don't think I will
install 8. I am not too concerned yet.
Cheers,
Simon
