I was replyiny to a poster who said... > at some near point in the future, our users will be forced to replace > udev/eudev with systemd. Like it. Or not. You mentioned that it will be years before it happens. I realize that this borders on the political, but if nobody objects *NOW*, in a couple of years it'll happen. And the developers will say "but nobody objected". You're right that the process takes time. It's precisely because of that that unhappy users need to make their feelings known now before it's too late. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
