Is eudev broken in some way? If so, has a bug been filed? If not, why not? |

If eudev is not broken, then why your proposed fix? |

It works fine for new installs, having just done one myself. Seems like we |
| 23 |
aught to keep it that way. I count six open bugs against eudev right now, |
| 24 |
and none of them look to be critical, so I vote "no" on your proposal unless |
| 25 |
there is some verifiable reason why eudev is no longer suitable to be the |
| 26 |
default udev provider. |
