I'm quoting the above in order to express appreciation for it -- in
context. Like Steve Litt, I favour the smallest possible entanglement
with Freedesktop.org 'desktop' components and their characteristic
tangled dependency trees and difficult-to-justify complications,
-=but=- the key fact is that Devuan Project has committed to be a
universal operating system, construed as including DE-style software
integration.

I would not have supported that commitment, personally, but nonetheless
can summon the wisdom to avoid expecting this project to abandon its
principles just because I don't share some of them. And I thank you for
aptly restating those principles.
