Thanks for reminding me now, rather than after we have sweat equity in
the name.

This documentation project's only relationship to Devuan, DNG, whatever

just come up with a new name that correctly portrays the situation.

Thanks for your timely reminder.

Yes. The bulk of the feedback here indicates that this documentation
project is better off allowing distribution of modifications.
