I did too early. The sad thing is that usual developers and maintainers are
"forced" to migrate to systemd. There is no easy way to switch
programms between sysv and systemd modes. It took much time to adjust
packages back to sysv and i can't spend that time for system maintenance.
So i have to rely on the maintaining staff of an official distro.

When i tried Devuan it wasn't ready to match my requirements. It was work
in progress and i suggest everyone should test it if it meets his needs
today.

I'll stay on Ubuntu LTS for my mothers laptop, on Debian for my PC and if i
have to change from sysv to systemd i took the chance to change my server
from sysv to sysv by migrating from Debian to FreeBSD. I hope the later
will have longer sysv support than others. ;)

Regards

Kai
