I agree with Greg Kroah-Hartman: I actually like (and want) a |
| 14 |
"vertically integrated, tightly coupled way of doing things". And of |
| 15 |
course people who *don't* want that don't have to use it; just don't |
| 16 |
expect support from the people writing the code for a "vertically |
| 17 |
integrated, tightly coupled" OS, and don't complain when they reject |
| 18 |
your contributions when they go against their goals. |

Or in other words, if you don't want a vertically integrated, tightly |
| 21 |
coupled system, then use mdev, or Luca's fork of udev; if enough |
| 22 |
people really want that, they will thrive. |
