His platform was entirely rah-rah Debian, Debian's the best, we don't even have to worry what others think. He called for unity, which in my mind is telling the remaining anti-systemd factions to just shut up. I'll say this though: Judging from his self-nomination [1], he's a person who thinks, and I think an idealist who one day could be persuaded to understand the value of the user controlling the computer rather than the other way around, or at least not removing such ability. He impresses me as a much more thoughtful human being than Lennart Poettering or Paul Tagliamonte [2]. This is important and on-topic because a hostile Debian management could build in enough booby traps to make Devuanization too difficult for practicality.
