Great!  Fantastic!  It's good to encounter someone with functional
cajones.

However, I will not get involved with any distribution because I simply
do not need a distribution.  Linux has always given me the choice
of doing it all myself, and thus I always do it all myself.

What I do require is not a distribution but an automated method
of package compilation.  I use Gentoo not because it is a Linux
distribution but because it offers the portage system of automation
to compile source code.

I could not devote my time to Devuan or any other distribution
because I do things much differently.

Rolling your own Linux is surprisingly easy.  The true challenge
is to automate the compiling of the ever progressing source code.
