Your PR claims to resolve issue 1618, but an open question in that issue is not addressed anywhere that I can see:

"tell more about VyOS and how it is a privacy tool and secure and how we won't regret listing it [...] remember citations so your research can be confirmed"

Is it possible that the privacytools folks are not willfully excluding your suggestion, but merely waiting until they understand it? I know what VyOS is, but I don't imagine most people do.
