OH, my, this is looking more like you are being paid by systemd peeps... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
THIS IS OPEN SOURCE, there is not a single project out there that might |
| 16 |
not become abandoned at some point in the future. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Even Microsoft may eventually abandon their crappy windows, Apple |
| 19 |
abandon it's current platform, (wait they did that once or twice |
| 20 |
already)... |

You are just refusing to acknowledge these simple facts. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
systemd.................: irrelevant to this decision |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
standalone systemd-udev.: Vehemently unsupported, support for its |
| 28 |
capability to exist is planned to be punted |
| 29 |
in the future. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
eudev...................: fully functional, actively developed, |
| 32 |
and fully supported, mature project, been |
| 33 |
around for years. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Oh and here is one final piece that should blow your reason away |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
https://github.com/gentoo/eudev <== NOTICE that it's upstream is |
| 39 |
within our gentoo domain. That means if Anthony (god forbid) were to |
| 40 |
be hit by that proverbial bus. The project can be easily assigned new |
| 41 |
developers. Not to mention the fact that with 14 downstream |
| 42 |
distributions using it as their udev implementation. That I am sure |
| 43 |
some downstream developers would step up and continue its development |
| 44 |
too. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Need I go on to list examples of other current projects that have |
| 47 |
continued when their main developer had gone for one reason or another. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
HINT: they are current Gentoo defaults too. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
So PLEASE show us you are capable of seeing and acknoledging the above |
| 52 |
simple facts and give up these BS arguments. This whole BS over a |
| 53 |
simple decision is giving me flashbacks of jury duty I did. But at |
| 54 |
least then, it was over something serious. It was a murder trial. |
| 55 |
This is about a simple virtual and the default order of its |
| 56 |
providers!!!!!!! |
