Hi, I'm just a lurker on the Devuan mailing list, and after the posts the
last few days just want to make a suggestion. You are all doing prodigious
things in configuring a downstream version of one of the oldest linux
distributions. Keep doing that, and when things get stressful and a bit out
of sorts and you get irritated and whatnot, take deep breaths, go smell the
proverbial roses for a while, get some sleep, and stop vilifying your
colleagues. Internal dissension is how you forked from Debian in the first
place. Chill, and keep up the good work. I now will go back to lurk mode.
Best for the holiday season. I am appreciative of reading of Devuan's
development, and want it to succeed.
