He's not talking about busybox at all. He's talking about Runit, completely different software by a completely different programmer. Perhaps he used busybox as PID1 instead of using the PID1 that ships with Runit, but truth be told, he could have just as easily pid1'd with sysvinit, or Suckless Init, or even Rich Felker's init. The crux of his article is stated more succinctly by Rich Felker himself: http://ewontfix.com/14/ I agree 100% with https://busybox.net/~vda/init_vs_runsv.html, although we all agree that right now it would be silly for Devuan to init with anything but sysvinit.
