19 No opinion on which to choose, I use the default one at the time I do
20 an install and have been happy with both.

22 My main concern is that since the change won't be "live" until a
23 switched virtual reaches stable, eudev will still be much better tested
24 in our environment at this point, and people might uncover corner cases
25 when it's too late. Maybe a compromise could be to provide and
26 primarily advertise udev stages before making the switch ?
