Sorry Edward, but this doesn't really have anything to do with Devuan
OS directly and if it was just a mention of a 'feature', I could live
with it. This topic, like several others lately, just goes on and
on and on. It is just clogging my email with something I not that
interested in (well not to the extent it has been discussed here).

If you are going to mention something not directly to do with Devuan,
then do just that, mention it and move on, don't chew it over and over.
If you feel you should have a major discourse about it, then do it of
list!
