     Happy New year to the team of Devuan Weekly News. Yes we missed 
you. Wondered if you were discouraged by the huge amount of off-topic 
threads...


> Aside from the growing strength of the community, we have seen significant progress towards init freedom in Devuan and the approaching beta release. Important init freedom issues have been solved, and security issues will soon come into focus with an eye on the beta release for critical security updates. We are calling for volunteers on this, so feel free to discuss this on the mailing list.

     We are discovering day after day that "init freedom" is about the 
emerged part of the iceberg. Debian still pretends to offer init 
freedom. What is under the sea level is a whole monolithic operating 
system absorbing all critical Linux subsystems like a black hole. 
Therefore escaping this monster means much more than init freedom, it is 
something like keeping a free Linux/Gnu OS.


     It makes more sense every day that RedHat and Debian should rename 
their OS Systemd/Linux in place of Gnu/Linux. It should make sense to 
them as well, but I'm afraid they deny the reality.
