That's so true, Clarke! This systemd debacle increased by an order of magnitude the Linux users who understand the underpinnings of the system and are prepared to take control. This is a Renaissance in the Linux community. Well, except for Debian:-)
Amen, Steve. For a recent Linux convert it was horrific to see its advantages -- choice of core components, text log files, do one thing well, (almost) everything's a file, and so on -- being flushed away with a single tug at the systemd chain. It felt like arriving at a party only to discover it finished last week :)
The Devuan announcement forced me to read more seriously about Linux than before. As an embryonic "daily user"/admin I look forward to Devuan being discussed far and wide as a definitive base distro, and to seeing it as a default choice on cloud systems, single board computers, and elsewhere.
To these slightly informed eyes, Devuan appears to be becoming far more than a Debian fork. I'd bet that some of its new tools and subsystems will find wider acceptance in other distros.
Right now though, hats off to Jude for vdev and to everyone here who works for the greater good.
