Good question. At the moment, decisions seem to be taken by the Veteran Unix Administrators. And the appear to be doing a good job, listening to the people on the mailing list, buf making thir own decisions based on their own needs and the technical exigencies. Considering that their needs are, lrgely, the needs of the systemd refugees that define this loose grouping of users, this is working now. For the long run, it's not clear what we want. Who should be represented, or whether there should be any kind of voting or democracy at all. This has, historically, been the hard part of having a successful revolution. Deciding what the new regime should be, rather them merely being against the old. Of course, one great difference between this and the revolutions we have learned about in history books (sometimes written by the winners) is the the devuan constituency is not defined by geographical boundries. Debian is being forked. SO can Devuan be forked. It's this forkability that can make autocratic rule work -- ultimately, there are no real autocrats. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
