The development team behind the Parrot Security OS ethical hacking and security-oriented GNU/Linux distribution announced that they are considering a possible switch from Debian GNU/Linux to Devuan GNU/Linux as the base of the OS.
The surprising announcement came was posted a couple of days ago on Twitter, and it reads "Our release team is evaluating a possible migration of our project from Debian to Devuan." A few users reacted negatively to the idea of moving the entire operating system from Debian to Devuan, a fork of the former, but without using systemd.
When asked by a user why the big move, one of the developers replied by saying "Mostly because of how it works, what goals the project has, who developed it and how it was implemented in Debian." But it also looks like the systemd init system is one of the main reasons for migrating the distro's base from Debian to Devuan.
