I stand to be corrected, but I think not supported simply means if you get yourself into trouble, you keep the pieces, not that it can't be done. I upgraded a couple of systems from Ascii directly to Chimaera a while ago, and it went well for the most part. From what I recall, I had to intervene to resolve cryptsetup-initramfs and cryptsetup-bin by hand, and maybe another package or two. I am not recommending someone try that, unless you feel comfortable dealing with dpkg, and have a fairly good grasp of manually resolving package dependencies. If someone reads this, tries skipping devuan versions and ends up with a mess, I'm not responsible.
