I sincerely doubt eudev will be well maintained by anyone, and will |
| 14 |
probably be poorly maintained in Gentoo. It's a maintenance burden we |
| 15 |
don't need any longer now that sys-fs/udev can be installed on all of |
| 16 |
the platforms we support. I would guess that the majority of active |
| 17 |
developers in the base-system project want to see it gone. |

Also, I am planning to replace the poorly maintained "hwids" package |
| 20 |
with the "hwdata" package maintained by a Red Hat employee. Part of |
| 21 |
this plan involved installing the hwdb data that is shipped with |
| 22 |
udev/systemd. This plan would be blocked if eudev remained in Gentoo. |
