With all this age-gating bullshit, where does #Slackware stand?
#Gentoo's sadly murican, so I'm left with #Devuan.
Or trying #Artix. Or #OpenBSD.

#Slackware's BDFL is American and, I believe, residing in the USA, so not much leeway unless he wants to get ICEd. There are more maintainers, sure, and I guess they could host their repos in non-Usonia for starters.
#Devuan's global, mostly European IIRC, so they're safe.

[Murican](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Murican), although i wouldn't apply the term to #gentoo developers (i'll add "in general" for statistics' and Murphy's sake).

Urban Dictionary: Murican

An impolite way of saying "American" (or a polite way of saying "Americunt") while wanting to project a sense to dislike towards that country and its inhabitants.

Ha!

As it turns out @volkerdi is indeed a proper BDFL and has [responded](https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-is-ab-1043-going-to-impact-slackware-4175762747/page15.html#post6626190) to this issue.
#Slackware has a chance!
