I started the replies with a simple +1, and that I had switched to eudev... No, "Down with the evil systemd.borg" comments As one of the few huge threads that I have been reading. It is you that has been taking this thread more in the direction of something akin to a preacher shouting we're all going to burn in hell for even considering switching the default. While you were obviously more emotional, Anthony was very calmly, and clearly refuting many of your statements. > Surely anybody suggesting switching to eudev as the default > virtual/udev provider had to have realized that this would create a > huge controversy. > BUT WHY DOES it have to be!!!!! Why can't we as a group simply respond to something like this with a simple +1, -1 and a few pros/cons Why must it become yet another shouting match. And I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you have been leading the charge in that direction. > Even if standalone udev is a dead-end (something that is speculation > at this point), it isn't like the code that exists today will suddenly > stop working.

As I pointed out above, you seem to be leading the battle charge. Why couldn't you have simply replied "-1 I use systemd like most other distros" and "It works for me as is" and leave it at that. > 4.

Sorry everyone for a little shouting of my own. -- Brian Dolbec <dolsen>
