According to your reasoning then , since Raspbian decided to go for systemd, Devuan should also do the same, right? :) And what happens if Arch decides to move to a BSD kernel? Shall Devuan move there as well? The real problem is that the "armhf" used in Raspbian is not a proper armhf, but an armv6+VFP2. And it is *not* armhf since by armhf we (in the De??an world) normally indicate armv7: https://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ And you will notice it immediately if you start using the vanilla Debian armhf release on your rpi, since Debian's armhf is a proper armv7 build. You will get in fact the same segfaults you get with the Devuan repos. The mistake was done by Raspbian, when they used "armhf" to indicate a port that is different from what "armhf" really means in Debian. The fact that they made a mistake does not mean that it should be perpetrated down for generations, IMHO.
