So far, that's not working all that well.

Miles, I just have to ask If you think think it's not working too well who is to blame? Please answer this question . . . what you have done lately for Devuan? If not you and each and everyone of us, who?

For Devuan, not much.

As a user, I have not installed any version of Debian that uses systemd, and I've basically stopped contributing to the Debian-user list (other than to recommend that folks avoid ecosystems that have become enmeshed with systemd).

As to, who is to blame - systemd is being pushed by a very well placed, very well funded group of people - and, despite LOTS of objections, the Debian powers that be adopted systemd lock, stock, and barrel, and basically rejected all those who objected. And, as goes Debian, so goes a bunch of other distros.

There's a point at which this all becomes unstoppable, unless some equally well-placed & influential folks start pushing back VERY hard.

By the way - let me note that, when I posted here a few months back, asking who was going to be at the Libre Planet conference in Boston - in the hopes of organizing a panel or a BOF session - pretty much the unanimous answer was "can't make it."
