For those of us who use daemontools-inspired process managers or inits, the preceding does not work. We need our daemons to be able to run in the foreground. Just because today Devuan uses sysvinit doesn't mean that will always be true. One day, for all we know, Devuan will use runit or S6. And if that day comes, we will rue the day when the decision was made to have daemons be like dhclient and signal readiness by backgrounding at that particular time.
