For those of you who don't want dbus, my experience tells me that getting rid of it would involve something like the following: * Use something like fvwm, Openbox or LXDE that makes minimal or no use of dbus. * Don't use NetworkManager. I don't remember whether Wicd uses dbus or not. If Wicd uses dbus, just do a combination of iwlist scanning and wpa_supplicant to "dial in" Wifi. Put a command into your init system that kills the dbus started in your initramfs. I personally wouldn't recommend tampering with your initramfs itself. In your init system, get rid of commands that start or modify a running dbus. Get rid of Pulseaudio (obviously, and not just to get away from dbus), get rid of ALSA to get away from dbus, and use OSS with snd_mixer_oss and rexima. You might have to tell several of your GUI programs not to do notifications, because they notify to dbus without the option to notify other ways. It's probably not going to be that difficult for the average Devuan user to get rid of dbus if s/he wants to.
