There is just so much wrong about this. April Fools is fine in jest, but this prank, about a serious alternative to Debian. It may have caused heart attacks, it may have stopped systems from getting valid updates, it may have done all sorts of things. I never went to the website; reading the mailing list only "about the problems", any sane person shouldn't go to a website that is potentially laden with malware. For Android users, if you don't have the February 2019 updates, you can get owned with just a PNG file. So, this is very serious stuff. Keep the humour to things much less critical. If you relied on Devuan for all your machines and the problem really did happen; it would be hell. A good prank would be a blog post that doesn't question the real security of the project. Once you question the security of the project, you can then have lingering doubts ...... that's not good for anyone here. There are times and places for great fun. This was a terrible idea and it has to lessen trust to at least some extent as well as posing a serious health risk for administrators who care about security, a lot. And the xkcd comic hsa nothing on this scare.
