Hi,

I appreciate the Devuan project, you're doing great work! Thank you!

Background:

• Devuan project is important

• Entirely free GNU/Linux distros like officially listed by the GNU project are important: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html

  • According to https://distrowatch.com just 2 of the 9 entirely free GNU/Linux distros don't use systemd

  • Debian is not on this list for reasons, which can be found here: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.en.html

  • If Devuan got on the official free GNU/Linux distro list of the GNU project, it would gain the advantage of being an entirely free GNU/Linux distro getting support by the GNU project, blow all other distros on this list out of the water and would become the new star of the free software movement, because it would be the most developed + not-systemd.

My question is:

• Does the Devuan project try to fulfill all criterias to be listed at https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html ?

  • If yes: How is it going so far? What's the state of affair/current process status?

  • If no: I suggest you to do these efforts to be listed at https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html
