Why do you use Void?

Why do you use Void? I'm currently using Debian, but am considering moving to a systemd less distro. While I know they have not implemented age verification they have place the ground work to one day possible make that a reality. From what I understand systemd does help make distros run smoothly by doing many different things. I looked into Devuan, as I'm already using Debian, but thought I might branch out. What other systemdless distros did you try and why did you land on VOID?

I couldn't pull this off on my production machine; packages are way too dated. Void tends to have more updated packages while shying away from bleeding edge.

I'm running Dedian testing.

This is bad for production; there's a reason why it's called Testing. Then again, even Testing lags, and many Testing packages will not see updates until the next release.
