Yes, that makes sense. What is the "next cycle"? Alpha 1? On the other hand, it seems that abandonment of systemd and udev is itself very ambitious and the bugs fully worked out before tossing in an array of secondary changes. I suppose the core target is debianites who might want to migrate to devuan with the least change in their usual habits. > > nano -> vim As a nano and emacs user, the notion of having to use vim as well as emacs seems likely to confuse. Although space less of a concern these days, nano was always nice when you need to fit an editor into a small device. Other than the mentioned limitation, why switch? > > exim -> postfix Same question here: are there significant reasons to change? Why was the idea of dumping udev in favor of vdev etc. not mentioned? That strikes me as a more fundamental issue and should be tried out in next cycle. As for desktop environment, I assume the option of having none will remain. With all this talk of xfce, I hope those who use none will be accommodated. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
