Day one sounds to have been well worth it for you already!
Debian without systemd is much less painful than the Devuan he has been struggling with — do you happen to have easily to hand any pointers to summaries here? (Absolutely happy not to rehash all the arguments in your journal!) I am currently trying Devuan out on one machine in advance of maybe installing it on a more important one, having had the sense from the timeline on bugs like #791944 that non-systemd systems are already third-class from the point of view of it mattering in Debian how well they work and that not auguring well for the future. It'd thus be good to know if with Devuan I may be going down an even blinder alley and if there are particular things for which I really ought to watch out that maybe I simply missed reading of so far. (On the personal systems I care most about, I already switched to other things, including trying out nsd/unbound instead of BIND; had to expand what were previously my $GENERATE statements!)
