1) Replacing udev with eudev: https://github.com/gentoo/eudev https://gitlab.com/trios-linux

Eudev will help to distance Devuan further from udev and thus systemd. It is stable, actively developed, and accommodating. Barry K. of Puppy Linux has received help firsthand from presumably their lead developer, blueness (i.e., https://github.com/gentoo/eudev/issues/60)

I've used TRIOS Linux and it was one of the best out of the box experience for my Dell Latitude D630 hardware. They're software has stagnated for about a couple years, yet they're still active on the Serbian forums. They were recently removed from the Without-Systemd wiki due to inactivity. The reason I bring this up is  because they compiled and configured eudev for the Debian system which I failed to do after an attempt on AntiX yesterday. I'm unsure whether this already compiled eudev can be employed in Devuan's future or not. The main difference is TRIOS uses openRC whereas Devuan uses SysVinit. Perhaps eudev will be adopted simultaneously with openRC.

Then, I suggest, you use it!

Well before you start piling on with any further chastisement...  the OP was apparently issued with a 1 week ban on 08/10/17.

If those were the terms, then this should have expired, but as yet they haven't returned.

How can you go over to Vuu-do if it's 'demised'?  Of course it isn't and we all know that but that phrase doesn't. 

(I'm ever the editor)

Depends how you read it, there's a comma in there that separates the '& Vuu-Do' from the demised #1, & relates to the original statement about AntiX.
But, I suppose I could have put a semi colon instead.

. . .  since the demise of #! (Crunchbang) & the arrival (or whatever) of Vuu-Do
