There's nothing wrong with http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Debian/openrc-conversion.html . I wish I had discovered/created that recipe before writing Manjaro Experiments. Tech information is all good, and that's some excellent tech information. The only problem comes in when you express the opinion (and fair enough, you state it's your opinion) that forking Debian was <use whichever expression you want>, without adding the vital words "for my use case." Had you added those four words, there would be no problem. For my use case, Devuan's a good thing. I like having an easy to install Linux with apt-get, but because I don't trust the Devuan project as far as I can throw my house, I refuse to depend on Debian, at least in the long run. Devuan's a sans-systemd Debian fork fitting my use case very well, and not fitting your use case especially well. Why don't you just admit that for the ex-Debian person who liked Debian until the systemd thing, but now no longer trusts Debian, Devuan fits their use case well. I'm not asking *you* to use Devuan, or recommend Devuan to your friends, or contribute to Devuan. Just admit that for former Debian users who no longer trust Debian, and don't want to keep undoing what Debian does in perpetuity, Devuan fits their use case.
