Hey KatolaZ,

I completely support the idea, especially as it generates more noise and
keeps people updated about progress in Devuan.

If and only if at any point in the future the noise will grow to
something that some people consider to be annoying (I might be one of
the first), I suggest to at that time move people who want to *discuss*
to a different list.

My 5 Rappen and a good wish into the week,

Nico
