NOOOOO! That may be true for a sys admin but not for a lowly desktop user like me (and others). That's why I suggested earlier that Devuan provide a base system for servers and a base system for desktop users. That way no need to aggravate sys admins with a full blown desktop and 'normal' users will be happy too. Everybody wins that way.
