:-) This cannot be the case. Otherwise somebody would have said. Hmm.
What we could do with is a "requires xdev", for x in (m u). I've
forgotten what that's called in portage.
There are surely lots of packages marked "need udev" which don't really
need it at all. I mean, are there any programs which need precisely
udev to work, as opposed to a populated /dev?
I mean, what does udev give me that mdev won't? That's not really a
rhetorical question. What potential benefits am I throwing away by
converting to mdev?
