Of course this is it. a Ph.D. can be very demanding especially in
writing phase and especially if full-time and including a tuition
contract.

Lets allow people involved to find their own pace as Devuan is still
based on voluntary effort and everyone involved feels enough the urge as
well the peer pressure.

The current development phase is aligning for a beta release, there is a
lot of work going on on many levels, not only technical, but less
urgency for vdev anyway, which won't be substituting udev right away.
It is indeed good to have it packaged, so more people can try and
perhaps it will attract more contributors.

So in case of vdev I have no worries, as Jude is well dedicated and
understand the huge importance of what he is doing, with your help of
course, and also vdev is a concrete outcome of his Ph.D. thesis, so
there is an incentive also in that context to carry it on.

In any case, good that we care about each other. After all it's been one
year now we are sitting around this camp, warming canned beans in pans
over the fire and doing our best to re-build a new town :^) and its
coming along.
