I think Walter's work (and his dogged perseverance despite the |
33 |
negative reactions I'd seen) played a pivotal role in having this play |
34 |
out the way it did. |
35 |
|
36 |
If he hadn't, I'm sure the systemd+udev thing would have gotten worked |
37 |
out anyway, I'm not sure the solution would have come from within |
38 |
Gentoo, and would not have come in the form of a fork, had Walter's |
39 |
work not been so obvious a focal point. |
