OH, my, this is looking more like you are being paid by systemd peeps...
THIS IS OPEN SOURCE, there is not a single project out there that might
not become abandoned at some point in the future.
Even Microsoft may eventually abandon their crappy windows, Apple
abandon it's current platform, (wait they did that once or twice
already)...
You are just refusing to acknowledge these simple facts.
systemd.................: irrelevant to this decision
standalone systemd-udev.: Vehemently unsupported, support for its
capability to exist is planned to be punted
in the future.
eudev...................: fully functional, actively developed,
and fully supported, mature project, been
around for years.
Oh and here is one final piece that should blow your reason away
https://github.com/gentoo/eudev <== NOTICE that it's upstream is
within our gentoo domain. That means if Anthony (god forbid) were to
be hit by that proverbial bus. The project can be easily assigned new
developers. Not to mention the fact that with 14 downstream
distributions using it as their udev implementation. That I am sure
some downstream developers would step up and continue its development
too.
Need I go on to list examples of other current projects that have
continued when their main developer had gone for one reason or another.
HINT: they are current Gentoo defaults too.
So PLEASE show us you are capable of seeing and acknoledging the above
simple facts and give up these BS arguments. This whole BS over a
simple decision is giving me flashbacks of jury duty I did. But at
least then, it was over something serious. It was a murder trial.
This is about a simple virtual and the default order of its
providers!!!!!!!
