Rick, Steve has just as much a right to a point of view as you do. In
fact, you both seem to be saying the same thing, just in different ways.

I agree that 'GOSFUI' is a waste of time, but then I call a spade a
spade, not an earth moving device ;-)

Can we agree that different people will look for different things in a
DE (or whatever you want to call it), some will be happy with just
logging into a console, others will want a simple GUI, whilst others
will want an all singing, all dancing GUI.

Devuan needs to be aware of this and offer a standard GUI (XFCE has
been chosen), but needs to offer a range of others wherever possible.
