Thank you.

Get together any big-enough group of people and you'll have... Well, all
kinds of people.

I've never been a fan of the term "poettering" as it is personifying
what is a social and technological trend. Was also not aware of that bot
fact, I'd personally be up for removing it.

FWIW, I don't take Ansgar's remarks seriously, he sometimes likes to
come around devuan's channels to act in a better-than-thou and rather
rude manner.

But that does not, of course, extend to the whole community.
