...unless, we don't want to create user dependence, and Devuan is not
a commercial operating system, rather a wonderful community
endeavour. And must strive to remain such, IMHO.

The only thing that matters is remaining focused on Devuan's main
task: putting together a universal, stable, dependable, free operating
system, inspired and directed by the efforts of a strong community of
caring users.

Reality is about solid facts. Names are close to pointless.
