I sometimes hang out on the xfce forum and ran across this today. It seems that xfce 4.14 is moving from gtk2 to gtk3 and predictably in very gnomish fashion, features/functionality are being removed. So Devuan might want to contemplate less gnome-driven options for future releases. Since gtk2 is no longer being developed, I wonder what that means for Mate's future . . .
