Must have been part of the updates last week. -

Yes, startup scripts may be shorter and easier to read, but putting so much functionality in one component seems like a poor choice for an OS designed around the philosophy of "Do only one thing, and do it well". That said, I've never had a problem on any of my computers attributable to systemd (I have !Debian and !Ubuntu servers and desktops, and one !Devuan box I'm trying out). -

The final Devuan Jessie release will follow shortly and then we will turn our attention to "Ascii", the current testing branch. https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20170421.170025.79b43629.en.html -

So far, it seems that the Devuan repositories aren't quite as rich as the !Debian repositories. Some non-repository .deb packages (eg. #FreeSwitch) have #SystemD dependencies, and won't install on Devuan. But my choice of init system is only limited by the amount of work I'm willing to do to recompile packages...
