There have been some rather important posts lately, starting with jaromil's financial report.

Then there was the thread started by anto which included several interesting responses:

From jaromil - https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20150505.173308.c2f664a8.en.html

From Isaac Dunham - https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20150505.235121.db200a9a.en.html

That discussion went on and on. Finally Didier Kryn posted:

Please stop vain discussion

nextime responded with an 'officialish' statement about Devuan and systemd:

The official position is: we will support anything that can be packaged without hijacking the whole system to be installed. Actually systemd doesn't match this requirement, so, devuan will not support it as long it doesn't radically change. Anyway we will not intentionally obstacle anyone that eventually want to use it outside officia devuan release."

In between all that, several users (like Edward Bartolo and Davi Hare) reported their experiences with with Devuan's new debootstrap. Here's one of them:

I used Devuan's debootstrap and installed Devuan. :)
