Devuan ASCII 2.0.0 stable release

Apparently the name 'ASCII' fits into their scheme of using minor planet names¹ for each release. Kind of a confusing name though. I wouldn't want the connotation of “limited to a few characters only” for an operating system.

Who's going to think a fork of Debian in 2018 is "limited to a few characters only"? Don't be ridiculous.

Forks are created for all sorts of crazy reasons. Perhaps someone has emoji creep via Unicode?

Thanks. One more example of developers selecting rather user-unfriendly name for their product.
