So, can I commit the virtual and finally start fixing people's systems |
| 29 |
or are we going to discuss this to the day when other options are no |
| 30 |
longer a possibility and virtual will be necessary? |

You seem still not to understand that upstream *does not care*. |
| 33 |
And either way, merging udev and systemd will result that two, four or |
| 34 |
six months from now users will need to manually re-adjust their @world |
| 35 |
to have the packages split again. |
