So forget about Debian. I know that it was discussed, but if Devuan wants to grow it should be able to offer a stable and well maintained repository. That is not the case at the moment, it's all dependent on a few people who are willing to put their precious time into Devuan. But will this be enough? Devuan is nice for a few nerds and in alpha stage, but I will not migrate corporate systems to Devuan as long as Devuan is a hobby project without a well maintained and broadly supported infrastructure. I have some workstations running Debian testing without systemd (but with libsystemd0) and I can easily switch to Devuan (I have successfully migrated one desktop). But apart from these workstations, I also run a few hunderd non-X Debian systems (all systemd free) and I'd like to keep them systemd free. But I cannot simply migrate these systems to Devuan just because Devuan's base is too small, for production environments I simply cannot rely on Devuan for the moment. That this issue has been discussed over and over again is not a reason to forget about Debian. If you can't beat then, join them. All controversies are of a political character (read: emotional character) and neither Devuan nor Debian gets better that way. I think Devuan will be much more succesfull as a part of Debian than as a stand alone distro. We will be number 2067 on the list of "NeverHeardOf" distro's. The time ROI is very low if Devuan is staying alone IMHO. We need (silent) diplomacy, not anti-Debian oratory. It's all about freedom of choice, nothing more, nothing less. If mister Poettering suffers from some form of narcism, it is not a reason for us to behave the same way. "winner of the war" has been proven to be a contraditio in terminis.
