Dear Jaromil,

the problem is not (just) of bad leaders but of the people who have
chosen them as leaders, and silently hailed to their wills just
because they were...err...the leaders...

You are definitely right: it's unbelievable that one of the most
renowkn Debian and OSI member reacts to such an innocent question like
Zacchiroli did, but this unfortunately tells a lot about the current
state of the Linux community. And also the silent inglobation of the
systemd-nonsense by all distros, just "for the better of the users" is
another sign that something has gone terribly wrong.

I think we can't do that much, if not pointing out clearly that this
is not the community we dreamed of and we lived in until a couple of
years ago. And put all efforts in providing users with a credible
alternative. I have started believing that the mission of Devuan is
not just that of putting together a systemd-nonsense-free GNU/Linux
distribution, but more importantly to show that the community is still
holding tight on some founding concepts, despite some of the "leaders"
are pointing in a completely different direction. Succeding on this
front will be the ultimate win, not just for Devuan, but for the
community itself.

A link to Revolution OS was recently posted on irc. I had never seen it before. It seems that the cycle has come full circle and now Devuan is going back to the future and reinventing the wheel all over again. Only this time the escape isn't from MS or Apple. It is from the enemy within. If history teaches us anything it is that nothing lasts for long and that freedom has to be continuously reclaimed from those who profit from control of ideas, goods and services. I see Devuan returning to its roots as the future of Linux and cooperative freedom in the digital age . . . a light in the darkness . . .
