It positions itself as a platform for extension rather than a replacement, may fork only if architectural modularity demands it, and seeks to avoid unnecessary hard dependencies (notably on systemd) where alternatives exist. The effort is in planning stages with documentation and a two-year roadmap on GitHub.
