I agree with this. I don't use the various *kits. Don't have any use
|
| 21 |
for them. I just throw myself in plugdev and I'm happy with that
|
| 22 |
solution, and I'd appreciate being able to keep on doing that. Of
|
| 23 |
course if it becomes impossible to support then it's not reasonable for
|
| 24 |
distro maintainers to do that, but as long as it works I'd appreciate
|
| 25 |
having the choice.
