Systemd-free GNU/Linux distros support

GNU/Linux has a various initialization systems. Are you planning support for other initialization systems (as least OpenRC and Runit)? If you do not plan then why?

The whole reason Devuan exists is because there are people who want to use Debian but who don't want to be forced into using systemd. I use Devuan because I don't like systemd (no, I'm not going to bash systemd or people who use it -- I just don't like it for my own systems). I definitely think supporting non-systemd systems is worth the effort, especially considering that even systemd itself is capable of using the same lsb-compliant init scripts that are supported pretty much everywhere (including on OpenRC, Runit, and SystemV).

I would agree that getting rid of the systemd dependency would be highly appreciated!
