Since (as has been posted) you can sign your own kernels, the enthusiast can do

Can you identify any vendors where you can’t install Linux? If you can’t, this
just a bunch of FUD.

This is grossly
I pipeline. Occasionally, the flaw is a part of the
standard, such as the recent issue with WPA2.
No amount of signing will fix any of these issues, but signing makes auditing
the whole system 1000x easier.

A KVM server I manage has the standard loopback and ethernet NIC interfaces,

ress the validity of the dichotomy?
Your premise that “Gnome depends on systemd” is false. The current *packages*
may depend on systemd, but I’ll bet they can be patched and rebuilt without
systemd.
Give it a try. Please build the gnome packages from scratch and report b
ething.
So, you could consider either one a rolling release, more or less. Testing
puts more emphasis on the “release” part, Ceres on the “rolling” part.

Not significantly. If this is a serious concern, we should consider

I don't. Adding noatime by default will break some software that
relies on atime, in particular mutt and popcon. Keeping relatime is
sufficient.

rk, I expect the

The release engineering site release.devuan.org is in DNS, but points to the
main devuan.org site. Clearly, there is some CI infrastructure that is
missing, and until it is put in place, Devuan’s technical debt will continue to
increase.

It would be better for the lspci program to emit a warning “PCI ID list is out

Adding a cron job to the lspci package is also an option.
