SysV is default.

I don't think XFCE 4.14 will be on Wayland.

And XFCE is MX's default DE.

so if you want to install a snap for some reason but still want to work with sysv, which is the appropriate approach?

Request that the devs install snap plus its repositories or store or whatever it's called in MXPI as they did for flatpaks. Otherwise, install it yourself and risk breaking your system. Or, if whatever app that you want in snaps isn't available in the MX repos, request that it be added.

Furthermore, what about Wayland?

Thanks!
Sysvinit by default. There will be a systemd grub entry just like in mx 18.

Xfce still uses X, so that's what we are shipping.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Since snaps only works with systemd which is not officially supported by mx (we merely give the opportunity for both sysv and systemd to co-exist on the same installation of mx), I highly doubt you'll find snaps incorporated in to mxpi.

Position on systemd in general: go search the official website, it's there somewhere.

However, I believe the MX position as stated in the posts today by D_O, which I assume represent both MX & antiX, effectively place MX & antiX in a unique position within the Linux-world. ...
Not quite.
antiX does not and will not use systemd-shim. ie it is totally systemd-free.
