any dev who maintains systems that handle initial mounting, or knows of random edge cases in the tree that might run into this. i can't exactly grep our entire code base looking for devpts mounters. > If this is to anybody who uses Gentoo, > then at best this should be a place to hash out the contents of the > news item. We don't expect Gentoo users to read -dev. users will be informed of the problem when the ebuild fails and then can trivially resolve it at that point. this should impact very few (if any) users, so i don't think a news item makes sense. > Certainly the > maintainers of anything that mounts /dev/pts > (OpenRC/SystemD/baselayout?) should take heed. the maintainers are reading -dev -mike
