Unless I misunderstood this and referenced threads, all this agro is being generated because udev devs decided to give primacy not to the linux fs and prevailing FHS conventions, but their udev code and what may have been an easy workaround for them?
Given that I do not understand the ins and outs of udev, or the way gentoo and upstream manage such proposals and ultimately accept changes, why don't gentoo devs raise alternative options with the Fedora dev or who ever had this idea upstream that udev code effort is more precious than all the workarounds (initramfs, repartitioning, etc.) that some of us have to go through? The alternatives I've read so far that advocate the avoidance of the imposition of an initramfs or merging /usr into / for the sake of a udev design choice, seem more 'intelligent' to me - in a gentoo principle sort of way. On the other hand, for a binary distro the udev dev approach would of course seem less disruptive and therefore our small gentoo user base may need to shout really loud to be heard. Do we get to vote on this? Can we make a difference other than venting here and in the forums? -- Regards, Mick
