Found it: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/254885 """ As I have said before, I admire a lot what Walter et al. are doing, and as I always will say, this is how our community works: people writing the code (as Walter is doing) are the ones that get things done. This is the correct (and only) way to address a problem (perceived or real) with the current status: write the code that does the thing the way you want it. Complaining and crying that you don't like the direction some part of the stack is taking is at best a waste of time, and at worst idiotic. Actually doing something about it (as Walter is doing) is the smart thing to do.

Found this one also: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/81251 """ Seeing some people comparing udev to XFree86 is one of the more bizarre things coming out from this fork, and that's saying. However, I agree with Doug that anyone should code whatever they want to code. Who knows, maybe something interesting would come off from this fork, and it certainly doesn't affect us happy Gentoo+systemd+udev users.
