Well you are proud of it. What exactly do you expect from a systemd aficionado when he/she reads a message from a Devuan developer? Red carpet, flowers and bourbon? Truth is harsh words do not help anyone. And not all debian-devs are systemd fans but do not like harsh word about Debian either. So as long as KatolaZ wants and be able to stay there it will help Devuan and possibly win some developers/maintainers for Devuan. That is what i was talking about not about a return to Debian.
