The problem with that approach is that all at once the Gentoo forum |
| 17 |
will be hit with questions by a whole bunch of people who will have to |
| 18 |
migrate to either eudev or systemd on a short deadline. As the old |
| 19 |
saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I believe |
| 20 |
that the best way to handle a crisis is to prevent it in the first |
| 21 |
place. That means getting into a lifeboat before standalone udev sinks. |
