Two points: - I am tired of having to revamp the hotplugging framework every other month; - I don't want to see udev being forced upon our users if a clear, working and transparent upgrade path is not provided for each new version of udev from now on. To be honest, I installed a laptop the other day, and udev works well on it (sarge with a 2.6.12 kernel); but I probably won't be able to upgrade the kernel without running into problems with udev, which is a total pain. udev RUN rules at least guarantee that the device node exists when the script is run, which is definitely an improvement. If only upstream could be a bit more stable. What are we going to get next month ? Ah yes, usbfs being deprecated in favor of udev and sysfs.
