When we were starving to death, we craved for bread. We found a dirty
crust of bread, and we started begging for soup. After we got enough
soup, we demanded meat. When we were sated with three kinds of meat,
we asked for a cream tea with jam, scones, and clotted cream. After
having eaten half a scone and not even touched the clotted cream, we
felt an insatiable desire for crabs, caviar and champagne....I guess
it's just human nature :P

I can't find appropriate words to describe today the joy and immense
gratitute to Devuan that I felt the first moment the Valentine alpha
became available. I will simply remember that moment forever.

A lot has been done since then, and Devuan has given us bread, soup,
meat, scones, caviar, and what not. It's great to see that we still
have desire for more, but please let us not forget where we came from,
and the hunger we have suffered in getting where we are now. It helps
putting things in perspective.... ;)
