The self-proclaimed "Veteran Unix Admins" forking Debian in the name of init freedom have released Beta 2 of their "Devuan" Linux distribution.
Devuan came about after some users felt it had become too desktop-friendly. The change the greybeards objected to most was the decision to replace sysvinit init with systemd, a move felt to betray core Unix principles of user choice and keeping bloat to a bare minimum.
Supporters of init freedom also dispute assertions that systemd is in all ways superior to sysvinit init, arguing that Debian ignored viable alternatives like sinit, openrc, runit, s6 and shepherd. All are therefore included in Devuan.

Do you have an overarching plan for which pieces of SubLinux you're eventually going to replace with tools you've written yourself, or are you just winging it as you go and adding the stuff you write and use? Somewhere in-between? Do you think the first public release of SubLinux will include all of the projects you have listed on your website and github, or are you leaving out the particularly niche stuff like aqu4bot?
