Congratulations

I have been running Debian since about version 2 and switched to Devuan when it became available, having used all three versions. I always have some trepidation when a new release is announced as sitting watching messages go by as an operating system updates itself is not one of my favourite activities -- it is awkward sitting on the edge of one's seat. But ... the update to Chimaera was utterly painless and uneventful, and also went by very quickly. Congratulations are in order for all those hard-working people that made this possible.

I do have a question though, not at all a complaint. Every time the release is upgraded the number of packages finishes up significantly larger. This isn't a problem, but I am curious why it happens. Is it a result of fission of the upgraded packages into separate parts, or is it because the removal ob obsolete fragments is not complete?

In any case, thanks for a job very well done.
