[kwlug-disc] Devuan, a distro without systemd

[Digimer]

If I can ask a broader question; What is it about avoiding systemd that
is appealing? I know this can be a loaded question, and please
understand I am genuinely curious.

Personally speaking, I've been on sysvinit since rhl 5.2, and I totally
understood the fear of losing so many years of experience and knowledge.
Once I gave it a chance though, I've totally fallen in love with it. So
I ask because I am curious what it is that people want in sysvinit,
beyond familiarity?

cheers,
