Thanks. heh, glad you liked it. Not sure everyone enjoyed it, but I
felt it had to be said. In many ways I'm pissed at myself now for being
apathetic, and assuming Debian would continue on as it had without my
input and energy. If Devuan is truly real, I hope to avoid that mistake
again.

kvm is not a supported vagrant provider. Seems a bit disingenuous to
develop a linux distro in a tool that does not support the native Linux
hypervisor, but literally all proprietary ones. I get that it may be
easy, but that's kind of like the slippery slope that lured devs to
systemd in the first place, no? Who would develop a Linux distro in
Windows or Mac? There's no need for a cross platform tool here.

Is there a reason this git repo is not publicly viewable without a
login?
