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
