After 13 years the Debian-Administration website will go read-only at the end of the month. Then later in the year it will transform it into a solely static-site so that the articles, weblogs, and associated comments are not lost - and they can be served via single server or two. Mostly this is happening due to lack of new content being added and folks posting more elsewhere.

I don't think that Devuan is "doing well". It my experience it's a very amateurish distro.
While I used to trust Debian for moderately critical workloads, I wouldn't even trust Devuan for throwaway use.
I think it's a myth that Devuan is a replacement for Debian. It's not.
If you're putting in the effort of moving away from Debian, you might as well move to one of the *BSDs instead of Devuan.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I use devuan successfully in server and embedded environments, and it's been great. You may run into a little bit of roughness, but as an experienced professional, you can work around that should you encounter it.
Debian had its issues too, look at all the bug reports that have been sitting for years.
BSD could be suitable, but Linux has the kernel and the drivers.

This is true. As an experienced professional, I uninstall Devuan and install FreeBSD instead. That's the best workaround.

I dunno still about devuan but mx linux and antix seem good enough to me if you want to stay in .deb land.

Debian can still be used without systemd, depending on one's needs. I use it for a desktop; by avoiding the full-blown KDE and GNOME I could avoid systemd.
