7 I honestly don't understand this argument that pops over and over.

9 No "major distro" using udev without systemd, so OpenRC people are
10 already using udev in unsupported setup.

12 Better to use a tool that is tested and supported in this setup.
13
14 Or maybe I do not understand and mission is for us to switch to systemd?
15
16 Systemd users/developers should not mind what the default is as they
17 are forced to use one variant anyway, these users/developers should
18 not force their opinion upon others.
