If compelling arguments were used, yes, you can sometimes trigger people to |

change their minds and arrive at a consensus. But outright dismissing them |
9 |
as if that will make them disappear is what won't work. |

Udev is the only package I have installed in my VM setup that fails at boot |
17 |
with a separate /usr and no initramfs. And that isn't even a fatal failure, |
18 |
but it is a failure none the less, at least by virtue of OpenRC flagging the |
19 |
fact that udev returned an error code. Everything else works fine. |

But it's not udev that is broke, is it? It's my setup, right? I've been |
22 |
wrong for the last 10 years? Why was this ever referenced then in the |
23 |
Security Handbook? See Code Listing 1.1: |

It's human nature to complain or otherwise voice dissent, especially when |
34 |
someone or something comes along and declares that what used to JustWork(TM) |
35 |
now NoLongerWorks(TM). |
36 |
|
37 |
Does that mean my dissent matters? Probably not. But that's not going to |
38 |
stop me from trying. |
