Ask them. Ask those who complained for months before ascii got to beta stage because they could not click on a button and suspend their laptop, since their DE did not supported consolekit. Ask those whose laptop suspended but then did not resume properly, and had screen brightness all off because their session was not properly maintained. Ask those who *absolutely* *needed* usb sticks to be immediately automounted irrespective whatever DE they were using, and wanted the icon on the panel as soon as the drive was up. Ask those who said it was outragious that synaptic did not start straight from the menu, since policykit was not working. Ask those who complain because a widget is misplaced in the bottom panel of a LXDE, those who insist that Devuan is "rough over the edges" because the border of the windows in the default theme is too thin, or to those who are disconcerted because one of their preferred widgets has suddenly disappeared. I am not saying these are not valid complaints, quite the opposite. I am just saying that I accepted years ago that the way I use Linux is not the same other users use it, and I have to keep this in mind if I want to contribute to Devuan.
