Daniel, since this rukus blew up and your announcement I have been considering my involvement with Debian (I have even install Devuan to see if that would suit my purposes). I don't have anything to add to my previous comments apart from I hope you create a Debian Live repository or PPA and let us know where it is located. Debian Live is to good a project (and tool) to just let die. Many people, apart from myself, rely on Debian Live (to create our own purpose specific distros, which is something you know already) and its demise will create many problems downstream (which is obviously something the "other" team chose to ignore when they started this mess). I don't want to pressure you into anything, even though the crux of this email is to highlight the problems that will occur downstream, I just want to let you know that Debian Live does have a loyal following of people who do use it for reasons that are to help others even further downstream. Regards Michael.
