Any programmer can have a look at the sources to see if Tobias is right or not. But anyway, I will not say that you're wrong, I just don't know. But I think that all sorts of conspiracy theories will not help us any further. I'm very pleased to see that someone is building a libsystemdfree xorg. But what about security updates? And what about future versions? Who is going to do that? What about the robustness of Devuan? Don't get me wrong, I really like the Devuan project, but wouldn't it be better to create a "systemv.debian.org", a sub version of debian, like the "backports.debian.org"? If Devuan is part of the Debian project, we will have much more influence on what's going on. Maybe it's better to build an extension to Debian than to build our own infrastructure. I fear many people won't agree with me, but I think it's better to cooperate with Debian than to fight Debian. Debian has a nice infrastructure. If we will be able to build a Debian extension and not a Debian fork, I think we can all win. On one side we will be able to use Debian's infrastructure and have influence on what's going on there, on the other side Debian will have a nice and fully supported non-systemd version.
