Agreed.  Those two discussions have long since outlived their usefulness and 
the petty bickering is going to scare away people.

As it is currently, I have a hard time recommending Devuan.  I’m no fan of 
systemd, but Devuan Jessie is essentially Debian Jessie, and the Ascii 
repository is a mess with several uninstallable packages (e.g., 
network-manager, slim), which means something or someone broke Debian Testing 
rules 4 and/or 5. [1]  I know this isn’t Debian, but as a fork, I expect the 
same rules to apply.

The release engineering site release.devuan.org is in DNS, but points to the 
main devuan.org site.  Clearly, there is some CI infrastructure that is 
missing, and until it is put in place, Devuan’s technical debt will continue to 
increase.
