That may be the technical reason I was looking for for switching from wicd.
Well, at least a quasitechnical reason.

I looked for a netman package in aptitude; it doesn't seem to be around
in jessie yet. Should I look in ascii or ceres? Or aren't we at that
stage yet?

With debian on my laptop I followed testing until jessie became stable,
then switched to jessie, planning to move to devuan when ready. Which I
did. It's now exclusively devuan. Even Windows is gone.

Is ascii generally as reliable as debian testing used to be? If so I
should probably upgrade.

Is debian testing even still as stable as debian testing used to be?
