13 Hi folks,
14
15 as we all know, devfs is marked as obsolete in current kernels and udev
16 is supposed to be its successor. For the upcoming releases, the
17 releng-team plans to make udev the default on livecds and drop devfs.
18 Our proposal is, what about officially dropping devfs (for those arches
19 that can handle it, of course) and moving over to udev. This would also
20 mean, that gentoo-dev-sources has to get gentoo-sources. Again: this is
21 just a proposal.
22
23 What are your opinions on this?

25 Regards
26 Benni
