Wow, I didn't know that I'm subscribed to this mailing list.

I think it's not a good idea. SysV is not a default init system, but a
lot of users install sysvinit-core package and eventually use these
scripts.

If you keep it, they will be able to use try it and send you feedback.
If you remove it, they won't.

Plus, afaik, TC position was to keep SysV as long as possible.

So I'd ask you to keep. I use mpd all the time in my Devuan Ascii.

If you need some help with this script, I can have a look.

Upstream marked tidal input as a deprecated one, so developers must
have already disabled it. Just check it's not available, probably
everything's fine. But if it's there, of course chop it out. :)
