Last I heard (which was about 2 years ago), Devuan's plan was to apply changes to Debian distros for some time, but slowly migrate to a completely different distro. If I remember correctly, one reason for becomig independent was to avoid Debian sabotage like we're appearing to see now on redis. Devuan has no responsibility to Debian users. If Devuan and Debian can cooperate, that's cool. But if Debian puts landmines in Devuan's path, ____ em!
