the effort of Parabola is of paramount importance for apt-based 100%
libre distributions. this and the 100% libre linux-image.

if resources aren't lacking to keep the maintainance of packages
mentioned above, I recommend to continue maintaining this line of
development, regardless of temporary adjustments made upstream,
because it brings resiliency and more agency in the hands of
responsible people.

Speaking for Devuan.org, once we are out with stable later this year
(or early next year in the worst case) we will start working on more
than one 100% libre distribution, easy to use and certainly
benefitting from the good work made at Parabola.
At that point we'll be happy to help by sharing our build
infrastructure if desired (ci.devuan.org and git.devuan.org).

And BTW, a first 100% libre distribution based on Devuan is already in
the works http://gnuinos.org lead by Aitor who is also experimenting
on porting the libre scripts to linux 4.3.5.
