Hi Gravis,

I appreciate that, but I personally can't see how the problems of
garbage collection in Java are related with good or bad programming
practices, or with a supposedly terribly long chain of dependencies
required by Perl and Python modules somebody mourned about earlier in
the thread :) And I don't get how this relates to the development of
Devuan, after all...
