For whatever it's worth, I'm fully supportive of the idea of defaulting to a simpler init system such as S6, Epoch, Runit, you-name-it. I can't speak for anyone else, of course, but I tend to think the sort of people who are attracted to Devuan see the virtue of simplicity. The main reason why we disdain systemd is because it's a mass of incomprehensible spaghetti code with dependencies up the ying-yang, and all that entails (ie a huge potential attack surface, dependency on Red Hat's "good will" for maintenance, etc).
The main issue with switching from sysvinit to something else is just finding someone willing to do the work. I don't feel very qualified myself. I'm not sure if SteveL was volunteering or suggesting we organize something, but anyway, the idea of S6, Epoch, Runit or similar simple and comprehensible init systems appeals to me. cheers, Robert
