Nope. This sound like telling minorities to stay on their track and
forget the majority of savvies and wise, if they (us, the minority)
think they are on the right track. Protesting against majorities at
their home usually doesn't bring anything useful to a minority.

This intellectual energy can be used in much more productive ways
helping Devuan rather than starting yet another endless flame in
debian-user, IMHO.

Being part of a minority has never bothered me. Rather the opposite.

...so since we think we are right and we stand for freedom, we should
feel entitled to knock at their door, enter their living room, put our
muddy boots on their table, and tell them "So guys, you've screwed it
up completely, you know..."?!?

debian-user is a mailing list of debian users. I am not a debian user
any more, and I was not on that list even when I was a Debian user
(and it was for about 15 years). So why on Earth should I now go there
and shout loud at their faces that I think they got it all wrong?
Again, to what avail?
