Mike while ASCII has been released, on my systems and I have many, it's not usable as a stable system. The reason is my external HDMI screen video and audio go blank/black-out and then it comes back and then it goes blank again, over and over, not doable while using the system. This I have produced over and over. Also reported on Debian User list by me and others. Until fixed ASCII is not usable.
And why do you not recommend Jessie, LTS or not?
Jessie is usable but LTS means Long Term Support means less security support.
That said, if Ascii does not work for you then I would recommend Devuan Jessie at least in the short term. You need to get a solid base that works for you and then upgrade by simple stages.
Do you mean like if I do a Jessie base install and then upgrade to ASCII and then install my desktop or something else? Just so you know Trinity for Jessie will not install on ASCII/Stretch, I wish it would.
Can you give me a Debian bug number for the HDMI problem for reference?

In more than 20 years I've never filed a bug report, but there have been Dev's who have shown a interest and have been able to reproduce the problems I have found and have filed bug reports, so I don't know if there has been a bug report filed or not.
