Check. Will the non-commercial roles currently in debops-contrib (like
debops-contrib.dropbear_initramfs) be merged into debops master?
Yes, that's the plan. They will have to be renamed and cleaned up, of course.
They were imported from the repositories in https://github.com/debops-contrib/
organization when the migration to the monorepo happened, but I hadn't got
time to work on them yet. I'll probably migrate the 'debops-contrib.apparmor'
role next, or better yet write a similar one as 'debops.apparmor' since this
will be mandatory in Debian Buster. The next development cycle will probably
be focused on Debian Buster compatibility to prepare for the next release of
Debian Stable.

I red it on the list. Sounds good! We've only been using v0.8.1 roles
until now, so that means that I'll have to get some work done to get our
infrastructure ready for the next tag :)
After the v1.0.0 release I plan to cherry-pick any non-breaking changes to it
from later versions, so that sticking to one release without suddenly breaking
your infrastructure is feasible. I'm not sure how many such "stable"
branches
will be feasible, perhaps sticking to the Debian release cycle will make the
most sense, we will see. But to get to that point, I want to clean up all of
the old roles first... Hmm, you know what? Screw that plan - people are using
DebOps in production already, so I'll bite the bullet and release v1.0.0 after
merging the user role changes. Let's get this thing rolling, this will be
a good test if cherry-picking non-breaking changes makes sense. Expect
a release in a week or two when I get the user roles updated.
Cheers,
