..is why I proposed mirroring Debian's non-systemd hurd-i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, x32 etc so people looking for
a one stop shop distro can get used to the idea "of mirroring
and forking only when we have to", and help us by hollering
whenever they find weird stuff that makes no sense without
systemd things being snuck in, such as weird merges.


..reflecting on the naming of Devuan Beowulf, can we somehow
manage to use it as _viable_ bait to win over the good folks
at https://www.debian.org/ports/beowulf/ ?
