The qubes devs seem not to have commented on adrelanos’ github enhancement request about including a sys-ops-whonix qube in the future so I am assuming it will take a while for this enhancement to occur.
What is the best alternative for end users in the meantime? Is it to use sys-whonix for all sys-ops-whonix operations and then create a new whonix gateway qube for all other activites such as browsing and anon-whonix workstation activities?
