There is actually a kind of psychological effect on doing it this way, one |
| 10 |
to which I have to give credit to upstream for employing (whether they |
| 11 |
intended to or not). By having udev put things into directories that would |
| 12 |
also be used by systemd, if it was installed, it reminds people of the |
| 13 |
inevitability that one day, systemd will be the only viable init choice to |
| 14 |
boot a Linux system and make the userland functional. This is why you're |
| 15 |
witnessing some people reacting by switching out their device manager over a |
| 16 |
silly directory name. That's the psychology working. |

Debian's recent vote on the default init system in jessie is just further |
| 19 |
affirmation that, sysvinit is deprecated (last release was almost 4 years |
| 20 |
ago, too). Most future Linux systems that are based off of mainstream |
| 21 |
distributions will *have* to use systemd+udev in order to achieve maximum |
| 22 |
functionality. |
