Since this is a Debian list, I recommend to discuss Debian here, and consult Devuan mailinglist for details of what they can offer. The vote currently in Debian will affect _future_ releases of Debian, not the current stable release, Buster. For Debian Buster (regardless of the outcome of the vote) SysV is a supported init system: Please do report any flaws you may encounter! Beware in discussions here and elsewhere to distinguish between these: a) running a system with SysV as init system b) running a system without systemd installed c) running a system without libsystemd0 installed If you need a), then quite likely Debian Buster is fine for you. If you need b) and don't need a complex¹ X11/Wayland desktop environment, then Debian Buster is likely fine as well. If you need c) and/or a complex¹ X11/Wayland desktop environment, then Debian Buster is most likely no fun for you - might be possible, but you will feel alone and bugreports will be harder to debug due to your complex setup (in particular your suppressing package recommendations). ¹ In this context, "complex" desktop environments include GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, MATE and more - as a rule of thumb anything which directly or indirectly recommends dbus-user-session.
