I think anyone here should stop taking conversations in DNG as
representative of Devuan. Please note that even those who denigrated
our efforts, names the shitdevuansays hooligans, have done so. I know
the gmane title for the list is misleading (this is not the "devuan
development" list), yet we have not choosen that title for it nor have
never declared this to be a place representative of devuan.

this is: an open discussion mailinglist born out of the Debian systemd
GR Init vote aftermath and it keeps welcoming people debating what is
before and after that episode, with barely any moderation.

Devuan has official channels for communication and people who are
appointed to such a communication. As one of them let me say that,
since many here read and run code, I recommend taking the actual
software as the best means of communicating what Devuan is about.

At last I wholeheartedly enjoy reading your reflexions and think they
do contain some precious wisdom.

happy hacking!
