Not having received an answer, I went ahead and did it. It had several
effects: a) the reported bug that had made it difficult to shutdown the X
server disappeared, b) the boot no longer goes over the a higher
resolution but remains VGA, c) trying to startx as user now produces
error that screen can't be found, d) now the freeze of the desktop
affects root as well.

I have a choice: re-install Sid from scratch or install devuan. I'd much
rather do the latter, but I'd prefer to wait for the beta. So let me ask
the question that can't be answered: when is the beta likely to surface?
Within a month or so or not likely until well after mid year?
