If you wouldn't have just mentioned "the "Debian is Not GNOME" antagonist pattern," I would have continued in thinking that dng stands for "debian next generation", as with lprng, which I rather like actually. > Don't you have a problem thinking about Devuan as "Debian without systemd"? No, not at all. That's what I wanted out of debian 8, and that's what I was expecting out of devuan 1 when I switched. > So yes, devuan-discuss is not useful.

I don't personally have a problem with such an approach. I for one saw no reason though to manually unsubscribe from one perfectly fine list just so I could manually subscribe to another list meant to serve the same purpose as the first from what I understand.
