Just did a systemd-free build of Cinnaminnaminnamon this morning and...
Shutdown instead Logs Out. Like, not even a modal to pop up with
grayed-out buttons like a misconfigured XFCE: it just logs you out.
It looks like instead of the normal DE systemd-or-ConsoleKit choice,
Cinnaminnaminnaminnaminnamon has
systemd-or-Old-UPower-and-thus-ConsoleKit. So, the combination of no
systemd and a new UPower leaves it inside of a power-management vacuum.
My suspicion is that "old UPower" can be "any UPower", but a-patchin'
will have to be done (or maybe an OpenBSD patch raid?)
I've uploaded the three scrubbed packages to the Devuan GitLab gnome
group; there are some gnome3 dependencies that it uses, although since I
already had them installed on my system, I'm not quite sure which ones.
I'll put the prebuilt packages on my mirror once I figure out that
shutdown thing. And I'll have to figure it out now or else lose sleep
obsessing over it.
I must say, Cinna[REDACTED]mon seems pretty snappy -- although maybe
that is just an illusion caused by how much new windows grow in size?
Cheers,
Jaret Cantu

I actually haven't got a chance to do much Cinnaminnamon yet at all
since it
was still in Debian testing and largely unfit for public consumption
last
time it was on my mind.
I suspect it will just be more config changes like gnome, for the
most part.
My interest in Gnome, as a user, would lie in the components that
still underlie Cinnamon. Try a Mint 17.1 VM and you'll see Cinnamon is
fairly polished now.
Plonk Cinnamon on top of Devuan and you'd be halfway to a Mint
substitute, when they inevitably follow Ubuntu's slide down the
systemd mud-chute.
Xfce/Whisker achieves much the same as Cinnamon for my purposes and
it's less of a resource hog. My themeing tastes are simple and
satisfied by either DE. However given a fast system it's enjoyable to
use the extra bells and whistles!
Purely personal opinion, not speaking for anyone else here.
