Devuan

[Scott Kitterman]

As I explained, it's not relevant.  I get you think it is.  I disagree.  The 
mail (since you care to debate it) is also based on a false premise.  There is 
no requirement in Debian to use systemd as the init system.  It is the 
default.  It's trivial to retain sysvinit and possible to use upstart.

None of which is relevant to Ubuntu which has never offered init system choice 
and moved off of sysvinit last decade.
