25 Not the standalone config we're using, so if you remove all
26 systemd-using distros which are irrelevant to this discussion you end up
27 with gentoo, and ~15 distros that use eudev. And of course other
28 irrelevant weirdos that use mdev, vdev etc.

31 No one runs udev either. So that's a non-argument
32
33
34 So given the context of this discussion, and your ignorant contribution
35 ... maybe you should cut the crap, man. Being a bit more polite wouldn't
36 be wrong either.
