Hello Steve; I fully agree.

It would be stupid of Devuan to allow systemd into their software.Wouldn't it also be kind of undoing the whole reason that the original guys split off the Debian crowd?Well, the official policy, insofar as there is one, appears to be that Devuan is about choice.Hi Everyone, This is settled law. Devuan does not in any way support installation of systemd on Devuan: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20150506.184731.24a5f02c.en.html All Devuan promises is not to deliberately insert Halloween Code to bomb when systemd is installed. It's perfectly obvious that if one wanted Devuan with systemd, they'd use Debian, but occasionally a troll tries to bludgeon us with our origins as a distro supporting the choice of its users NOT to use systemd. And then everyone (I'm guilty too during this thread) chimes in. But this is settled law.
Systemd is not an init system; it is an operating system. Devuan runs a Gnu/Linux OS which is not Systemd. Even if the two are using almost the same kernel, they aren't the same OS. The most typical effect of this is that many packages have different compilation options depending on which OS they are to run.
For people wanting absolutely Systemd on Devuan, I would recommend to install it in a virtual machine under Qemu like Systemd developpers do on their Macintoshes.
