Me too. When upstream moved the udev sources to the systemd repo, they promised that udev would continue to be able to be used separately from systemd. We should hold them to that promise. If they break their promise (as it seems they are bent on doing), then we should go ahead with the fork as discussed earlier. I'm sure other distros such as Debian and Slackware would be happy to join us in that effort. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead, Gentoo Wiki admin
