Re-read what you just quoted, darn it! «Yes, we [Devuan] are [provide the users with the choice]. *Debian* apparently is no longer going to be.» Who is who fails to understand? > Is Debian you are angry with? Yes. > Then please go explain your reasons to > them, since your rant here is *totally* *out* *of* *scope*. My rants were an answer to a (former) Debian maintainer/devloper who was on this list justifying the necessity of Debian's / -> merge based on the specific needs of datacenters or his own personal tastes. Or, is Roger Leigh a Devuan maintainer or developer? >> Plus the many-times repeated BS of: "The / - /usr split is silly", > I won't discuss anything about the technical motivations behind > merged-usr with people that have not read what Roger said in his > email. And apparently you haven't, so the thread ends here. I did read it, in full. It does not concern desktop installations, only datacenter and clustered installs. He wrote: "This is one of the major factors why I would question the use of esoteric methods of partitioning and booting the system." Esoteric? Esoteric something that's been done for 40 years in most Unixes and in all GNU/Linux distros since 1991?
