Double-standards aside, I don't think the "original" implementation is |
| 9 |
what matters, so much as what works best for our users (and ourselves) |
| 10 |
in practice. Others have pointed out that we don't have enough data |
| 11 |
to safely switch the default, and I think that alone is sufficient |
| 12 |
reason to hold off for now, but once that data is collected if it |
| 13 |
makes sense to switch we should do so. |

We don't use XFree86 or LILO, and quite a few are eager to drop udev. |
| 16 |
The important thing is to offer users meaningful choices, and make the |
| 17 |
default whatever makes the most sense at the time we set it. |
