I've mentioned this before, and I hate repetition - BUT - I feel it is important enough that it should be stated separately so that it is not overlooked. All this discussion about replacing defaults concerns me that someone might inadvertently break some standards that they are unfamiliar with. Yes, before anyone says anything, I already know that Linux does not entirely comply with POSIX standards, and deliberately breaks it in places.

It does, however, break scripts on occasion; in spite of arguments by the systemd developers that does not. I'm hoping that Devuan does not make similar mistakes while moving in a different direction.

Hey T.J.
Not Linuxisms, GNUisms. Nano (and Emacs) belongs to GNU, and you
know it: GNU's Not Unix! Do not forget we are talking of GNU/Linux.
Trying to be POSIX-compliant, sure, but GNU nevertheless... a dilemma :-)
Good day.
