If I understand you, you're trying to dump sysvinit because it's
old, well it's not nearly as old as me and I can still kick butt
and I see nothing wrong using sysv script, as a user it's working
for me, simple config I can read and edit. What's wrong with
that?

I already dumped sysvinit 3 years ago because runit is better for my
needs.
What I said was that if you like sysvinit, use it, but for gosh sakes
don't take the time and energy to modify it or update it or give it
systemd features.
By the way, you can use runit on top of sysvinit, which is dead bang
easy. As a matter of fact, it might be an improvement on pure runit
because you can run run-once processes from /etc/init.d/rc5.d, and run
supervised, restarting processes with runit.

Steve, I would like to run Devuan with out systemd packages messing with
me or my system. Right now I don't think those packages care what init
you're using, of course they prefer systemd because systemd can and will
change things to accommodate what it wants to do, but those kernel calls
do the same thing using those same systemd packages. Me I can stop those
service I don't need or want, my requirements are simple, but people
running servers, ouch! One other thing I notice is those kernel calls
mess with Intel video drivers big time, ATI and Nvidia don't seem to
suffer as much.
Bottom line is to get Devuan back to what Debian was and dump the
systemd packages, all of them and I'm pretty sure there is someone
working on Devuan doing that vary thing and I wish I could help, all I
know to do is install and test, I've worked close with some past Debian
Developers and they used my testing service and took my help while using
private email.
