The fact that it came from Lennart doesn't make it any less FUD. |

I don't think that the eudev folks plan to completely go off in a |
| 21 |
separate direction, so most likely whatever changes occur to systemd |
| 22 |
to keep udev running will probably end up getting made to openrc to |
| 23 |
keep (e)udev running. |

If the argument was that we should be running eudev by default because |
| 26 |
it is better I could buy that. However, this seems to be an argument |
| 27 |
based on a fear of what some other project might do in the future. |
| 28 |

Even the great Lennart doesn't know with certainty what the future |
| 30 |
holds for udev/systemd/etc. |
