6 After studying their home pages so far I came to the conclusion, that I
7 cannot take "Devuan" serious. It still feels more like a prank to me
8 than a serious thing.

10 First the name "Veteran Unix Admins collective" sounds strange. Nobody
11 ever heared of them before, they don't have any kind of information on
12 the web before that announcement of the fork showed up.
13
14 Second: they are already asking for donations.
15
16 Third, but most important reason: no names on their f***ing pages. Why?
17 If I would fork a project I would mention popular names right from the
18 beginning to gain a serious momentum! This has not happened here at all.
19
20 Who are those people? Whose behind this so called "fork"? That's a thing
21 that's still lurking somewhere in the shadows.
22
23 Especially the fact, that they don't mention any names at all on their
24 project pages is something that's really strange to say at last.
25
26 So unless those people behind the shadows are coming out of the dark and
27 going to solidify it's just something many people would like to happen,
28 of course - but without any substance at all.
29
30 That's why I am skeptical about all of this created buzz around it and
31 seriously doubt if they are going to be able to deliver.
