Agreed (the limited fussing)
However...what Debian decide to do next concerns me.
At some point I will probably have no choice but to jump ship as it were.
The sooner I do that, the less Debian'ised my systems will be, and the less painful the switch is likely to be.

I would prefer a frozen but security patched Devuan to anything else currently on offer.
