If I just read wiki correctly, they set out with the goal of removing systemd and then kept systemd?

Statement from the OP:

> Devuan is about choice. We think people should be able to choose whether to use a GNU+Linux system with or without systemd.

> Devuan decided to fork not only the base distribution, but also its governance, because Debian has made it difficult to avoid systemd as init, entangling the system with unnecessary dependencies and did so despite widespread community concern. We encourage potential Devuan users who wish to install systemd to use Debian’s installer, Debian’s packages and Debian’s mailing lists, all available directly from Debian’s mirrors.

So they now officially recommend Debian to people who value true init freedom?
