Enemies? Adversary?

There is no real adversary here. Just different people with different solutions (of unequal quality) for different problems and use cases. Then again, some are just plain wrong. ;-)

Devuan is a fork, for a road that means taking a different direction. It isn't a war.

Trolls and time wasters are a separate issue. They exist on both sides regardless and they haven't reached the critical mass on this list (yet) needed to go "nucular".

Although I have reduced this to digest....
