..one early blunder we did, was fork off Debian Jessie rather than
Debian Wheezy, a lot of good people we could have used here, got
stuck there because they are conservative and slow because they
get paid to prioritize stability.

..we could help bridge that "Debian-Wheezy-to-Devuan-Jessie" gap
with a _minimal_ "Devuan Wheezy 0.x" fork, if that isn't too much
water under the bridge now...
