Agreed. I suspect the status quo will remain in place for a while. |

If somebody forks udev and a bunch of distros switch to the fork, that |
| 9 |
could shake things up, although that could get really messy if the two |
| 10 |
projects start to diverge since we'd need compatibility layers for |
| 11 |
packages that use udev since either might be installed (only to the |
| 12 |
extent that they diverge). |

What I see as the most likely thing to lead to change is if/when |
| 15 |
GnomeOS actually starts to exist. When you can't run Gnome without |
| 16 |
systemd I'd expect to see a lot more Gentoo users running it. Then |
| 17 |
again, if Gnome jumps the shark, maybe not. |

In any case, seems best to just take the hurdles as they come. |
