Hello Noel,
I think I have a good reason to want to have them removed. I hate
them :)
You are free to do so.
I don't think Devuan should provide the option to use systemd. Why
should it? The decision in Debian to default the init system to
systemd is the main reason to fork Debian in the first place. And the
users who want systemd are better of using Debian instead of Devuan.
You don't think that we should provide the option. But we should,
because not doing so means removing freedom fro mour users: removing
the freedom to use systemd.
We are not anti-systemd, we are anti-systemd-being-imposed. And the
first step is to create a distribution able to work without systemd at
all.
Truly speaking, we are no anti-anything. We are pro-freedom (including
the freedom to choose systemd). This was extensively discussed on the
first days of this list.
On my particular case, I want to have that cron.service file gone as
that is the main reason for me to re-compile it.
Well, I would say that is not a reason to recompile it at all, but
that's up to you. I say, tough, that only the removal of a systemd
service file is not a reason for Devuan to maintain a Delta over
Debian (and all the associated wasted effort).
Cheers,
Anto

I think you are contradicting yourself, Noel.
On one hand you wrote that removing anything related to systemd like
what I am doing, is a waste of efforts. On the other hand, you wrote
that Devuan should support systemd in the future and that is not a
waste of efforts.
In my view, the later is really a waste of efforts as that means all
the efforts that are currently being done in removing systemd and
stripping all systemd related components from a lot of packages, will
have to be repeated to implement them again in the future possibly in
different form.
The freedom of choice for the users who prefer systemd already exists
a few years ago. If I would be one of those people, I wouldn't wait
for Devuan to support systemd as I can use any other distros. In fact
I wouldn't even look at Devuan as I would probably be already happily
using a distro with systemd.
I completely agree that Devuan must offer choices to the users. But
that must not clash with the principle as to why Devuan must exist in
the first place.
Cheers,
Anto
