Why not? If you're promoting it, or persuading Devuan into the
acceptance of it?

Anyway, can anyone answer that question?

Well then, keep it for those cases, don't put it in all the Devuan boxen
by default. Will be fine!

What fundamentalists? The Gentoo folks? Thorsten mirabilos Glaser with
his MirDebian "WTF" project, a fundamentalist? Me, a fundamentalist?

What do you mean? My desire to, after have achived it for me (but only
in Gentoo), some freedom and some security, to teach, if we get a
true-foss Devuan that can get its MirDevuan "WTF" fork for itself, to
teach newbies to build their system hardened-against-intrusion and
surveillance-defeating, that desire of mine a fundamentalist desire?
