I'll admit that I do need to read more. But it seems this discussion goes |
20 |
back a few months and there's no clear starting point on what began this. I |
21 |
don't always have time to keep tabs on every diverging trend in the Linux |
22 |
world, so I missed this back when it started. Any references you can point |
23 |
me to? |

I'm not a hater of systemd or udev. I just don't use systemd, because basic |
30 |
init and the OpenRC setup work for my installs. Maybe not everyone's, so |
31 |
systemd (and others) fill those gaps. |

With udev, I don't pay a lot of attention to it -- it JustWorks(TM). No |
34 |
need to really fiddle with something that isn't broken. |
