You have a choice. This is trying to force your choice on everyone else |
| 11 |
just because you hate the other option and don't want anybody to be |
| 12 |
using it. |

Are you really serious with those fringe distros? How many of them have |
| 26 |
a dozen users that do not happen to be developers of the distro? How |
| 27 |
many of them are actually used in production? How many of them have |
| 28 |
diverse enough userbase to prove that eudev works in different |
| 29 |
environments? |

The reason for that is simple: because it quickly turned away from |
| 49 |
merits to politics, FUD and nonsense. And spammed the mailing list to |
| 50 |
incredible level. So after next mail about the bad Templars silently |
| 51 |
planning to take over the world by integrating udev in systemd codebase |
| 52 |
and renaming it to systemd-udevd... I mean, people have their limits, |
| 53 |
and there are amounts of nonsense that set us off. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Please don't forget to ban all *BSDs for keeping their sources |
| 56 |
in a single repository. They took over the whole base-system already, |
| 57 |
and you have to fork the whole system just to have the choice! |
