Hmm. You see how not easy and not short is the process of creation of a
new distro. To capture distro is very easy as Debian sad experience
shows... and is grievous for its long time users.

Why i stress the point is that our community would ponder on this wise,
and may be, a decision will be thought out for such cases - when
distro is not protected by army (its developers): and be used for other
free distro.s, not only Devuan.

The decision can be encapsulated into the development process so that
easy transfer to another (new) distro will be easy and short, or its
capture will be in vain and therefore may abandoned in the future.

Otherwise we will be going circles - long, hard - just to get what we
had already - and even that is not in long perspective.

Well. I have said my opinion.
