The different init system currently available on the market are really "too different" to each other, but this does not mean that we shouldn't try to find a way of providing the user with the possibility of choosing which init system to use at config time, and possibly to swap init systems on demand. This will probably require a lot of work, but IMHO this is the niche where Devuan has something new to say, and to show.
