Well then, keep it for those cases, don't put it in all the Devuan boxen by default.

What fundamentalists? The Gentoo folks? Thorsten mirabilos Glaser with his MirDebian "WTF" project, a fundamentalist? Me, a fundamentalist? What do you mean? My desire to, after have achived it for me (but only in Gentoo), some freedom and some security, to teach, if we get a true-foss Devuan that can get its MirDevuan "WTF" fork for itself, to teach newbies to build their system hardened-against-intrusion and surveillance-defeating, that desire of mine a fundamentalist desire? --- The rest cut out because somewhat made disorderly and illegible by probably hotmail defaults (that the immediate sender who I'm replying to apparently uses) or for some other reason. --- Regards! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
