Why hasn't sysvinit been abandoned yet?
Sysvinit is quite old, so why hasn't it been abandoned in favor of another init system such as dinit? Just asking, not stating that sysvinit SHOULD be removed.

If it works, don't fix it. Shiny new s**t just stirs the pot and is a waste of time and resources IMO.

I see your point 100%. But I imagine that due to its age, sysvinit could lead to security vulnerabilities and just horrible bugs in general. If that ever is the case, will sysvinit ever be dropped or will it forever remain the main init system for Devuan?
