  Re-read what you just quoted, darn it!

    «Yes, we [Devuan] are [provide the users with the choice].  *Debian*
apparently is no longer going to be.»

  Yes.

  My rants were an answer to a (former) Debian maintainer/devloper who
was on this list justifying the necessity of Debian's / -> merge based
on  the specific needs of datacenters or his own personal tastes.


  Or, is Roger Leigh a Devuan maintainer or developer?

  Esoteric?  Esoteric something that's been done for 40 years in most
Unixes and in all GNU/Linux distros since 1991?

  C'm on, stop kidding me!
