I don't have an opinion on that. If I really loved JWM to death, I
might make such a package. Or I might just compile from upstream source.

I guess I'd respond like this: If there are one or two Devuanians who
love JWM, they're better off compiling from upstream source. If there
are five or ten JWM-loving Devuanians, better to make a package.

I'm not really a JWM-lover, because I usually don't need a panel, and
when I do, LXDE is good enough. The reason I choose LXDE over JWM is
that LXDE does Alt+Tab like Bill Gates set it up (win95 was an
incredible in its human engineering), whereas JWM does it in a way that
screws me up.

But of course, if I were ever to set up a GUI computer that used 128MB
RAM, you'd better believe I'd use JWM. And there's something so
Army-Surplus countercultural about JWM!
