That's a fair point. Devuan's devs appear to have a specific philosophy of not supporting systemd as a counterpoint to Debian. Antix's top dev is anticaptilalista, who has made public statements saying that Antix will never include systemd, but he seems more than happy to work hand-in-hand to help the MX devs develop their distro. MX offers both sysvinit and systemd, with the default being sysvinit, and the user getting the choice at boot time. So Antix would be harming MX which is downstream if it got rid of systemd support. (or maybe "downstream" is not the correct term, but Antix is the distro that gets released earlier, and MX uses Antix's code and releases a few months later).
