Well, their release is essentially Debian Jessie with a few defaults modified (have the "init" meta-package depend on sysvinit instead of systemd), a few packages removed (systemd-sysv) and a few packages rebuilt to not depend on libsystemd (to no longer optionally support additional integration under systemd for freedom reasons).

Keep in mind that they originally wanted to release their version on Jessie in early 2015...

And what does Devuan do?

Hint: udev in Devuan is just the unmodified Debian package. So much for the "heavy lifting" done by Devuan in the last years.

And udev w/o systemd is still supported upstream, just not building only udev (one also builds the systemd binaries and throws them away).

> Devuan is also doing lots of heavy lifting to keep udev separate from systemd

So they do nothing as udev and systemd already are separate packages in Debian?
