   I think there are places in which using a derivative provides reasonablñe   
   advantage. I am not saying never to use a derivative, I am saying that in this   
   case I see not great benefit in it. Different thing.   
      
   I am not impressed by the whole Debian ecosystem myself :-) Devuan seems to be   
   quite ok nowadays but I am certainly not using it in deep.   
      
   My policy regarding Slackware's slow release cycle is: keep everything in the   
   most recent stable release; when not possible, use a BSD; when not possible,   
   use Devuan.
