Hi KatolaZ, Naturally, my crystal ball is no better than anybody else's, but my prediction is that as time goes on, Devuan's intention will become a more generalized superset of init freedom. I'm predicting that in the long run, it will become DIY freedom, with emphasis on small, standard parts with known, thin interfaces. Of course, systemd was the most glaring and urgent threat to DIY freedom, so we need to purge that silliness immediately, but I think we'll eventually go farther. As a matter of fact, my understanding is our default DE will be Xfce, not Gnome: A fact that will doubtlessly cause hand-wringing amongst those believing in the tightly-glued, unified system.
