I don't want to offend anyone but let's be honest: people start many |
| 25 |
initiatives, and they are not always right, no matter how many effort |
| 26 |
is put. I don't want to discourage it but sometimes I dislike |
| 27 |
the importunity accompanying it. |

Users are free to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm |
| 30 |
the rest of users. And I'm afraid that too much enthusiasm over mdev |
| 31 |
will actually cause a number of users to end up being disappointed |
| 32 |
that one or another magic requiring udev no longer works. |

Sorry for the confusion caused to you and the others. You need to read |
| 50 |
it bottom-to-top. I reversed the line order for Sylvain who seems to |
| 51 |
prefer reading that way. |
