IMHO this makes a good argument for the wait&see (aka keep sys-fs/udev |
| 24 |
default) position: |
| 25 |
- May 2014: Lennart writes the world will fall apart and udev will |
| 26 |
somewhat require systemd with kdbus. |
| 27 |
- May/June 2015: kdbus is first sent for review/merge for the linux 4.1 |
| 28 |
merge window (I think). |
| 29 |
- Feb. 2016: kdbus has been included then removed from fedora kernels, |
| 30 |
it is being reworked and is not even proposed for the linux 4.5 merge |
| 31 |
window. |

I'd say we still have some time to see how things will evolve :) |
