Hi,

Literally nobody was aware of that until he himself brought that up
amidst his (usual) threats.

And I think that Jaromil made it clear what the position of the project is:

Nobody here condones doxing or other unsavory activities - quite the
opposite: the reason most of the people working on Devuan are acting "in
the shadows" is because they fear this kind of retribution (or worse)
for their technical positions. It would be absurd even implying that the
project endorses the very same (borderline?) criminal behaviour that
it's trying to shield its members against.

Lest you think that I'm blowing things out of proportion, I can tell you
my personal experience, even though I'm a perfect John Doe in the FLOSS
community: I got more insults for my position on systemd in the last few
months (even from people I deeply respected - and I still don't know
*why* they felt the need to openly insult me when I raised purely
technical concerns...) than all the shit I got from randos I K:lined as
IRC operator in my previous life.

I would be a hypocrite if I'd approve such actions against other people.

Carrying on as planned (mostly, aside from some major sidetracking).
Expect an update on libudev1 real soon now™, since most of my day job
deadlines are finally over.
