13 That's kind of a false equivalence. Unlike Lennart, you are not the
14 primary developer or maintainer of what your (sarcastic) claim
15 indicates. Lennart's "single statement" has been backed up with every
16 large change made to systemd or udev. With each change, it becomes
17 more strongly coupled and that much harder to separate. Regardless of
18 my or others' feelings on Lennart, he *has* acted on things he's said
19 in that regard, and it's foolish to assume udev without systemd will
20 remain an option.
21
22 If Anthony had said that instead, I and many others would have reason
23 for concern and likely respond by migrating, again, to something else.
24 While you and I are part of Gentoo and thus somewhat 'upstream' to
25 eudev users, we aren't active on the project (to my knowledge; from
26 what I gather you're a systemd user and have no interest in eudev; I
27 have interest but no relevant experience/skill). I hope I was able to
28 explain the difference.
29
30 Rich made a good point that maybe we shouldn't act until udev simply
31 stops working. I'd prefer a more proactive approach, but I see the
32 merit in waiting.
