only person around here to have noticed.

Dude, if you consider 'I like what Devuan is doing but strongly suspect
it wasn't necessary to fork Debian to accomplish its aims' (close
paraphrase) is an 'anti-Devuan utterance', then you desperately need a
perspective transplant, stat.

Months (years?) of ranting on debian-user accomplished nothing
discernible for you other than getting thrown off it.  My spending two
days researching and writing a Web page produced a tested systemd-free
Debian system regime and comprehensive information about its nature and
limits.

There's a lesson there.

I'm pretty sure you're the second coming of the Black Knight from 'Monty
Python and the Holy Grail'.

And, dude, it's just distro policy, packaging practices, and system
administration.  This isn't something where 'winning' is on the table.
