Me too. |

When upstream moved the udev sources to the systemd repo, they |
| 22 |
promised that udev would continue to be able to be used separately |
| 23 |
from systemd. We should hold them to that promise. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If they break their promise (as it seems they are bent on doing), |
| 26 |
then we should go ahead with the fork as discussed earlier. I'm sure |
| 27 |
other distros such as Debian and Slackware would be happy to |
| 28 |
join us in that effort. |
