Egocentric/maniac devs just listen to their own infallible desires, which *they* call logic rather than the requests of their users. In such cases, those of us who have neither the capability nor the time to start coding the next fork which complies better with *nix design principles and common sense, have to wait for some sensible solution to appear (e.g. eudev) and run with that where available. Ultimately, if some other dev(s) create /better/ code than Poettering that closer matches the desires of many, I expect the monolithic initrd+udev+systemd+what-ever will be ditched in favour of something more flexible that suits a lot of us Gentoo users. I can't wait for this to happen sooner, but since I can't code I can only but hope. :-) -- Regards, Mick
