Sounds like a healthy expansion to me, congratulations in arriving at it.

Caretaker leaves an impression in my head of everything from a god like
science fiction entity to a custodian/janitor.
So plenty of scope. (-;

I'm not sure of the actual structural form envisioned for Devuan.
There has to be some vertical structure and a group of 'n' at the top,
it is IMHO unavoidable.

I think pure top down works the best for creating user dependence, the
benefits can be better controlled to trickle down to the shareholders
and the improvement flow controlled to the users.   It is a well proven
model for commercial operating systems and one that GNU/Linux tends, by
its very nature, to throw a wrench into.
