As one who voted yes, my rationale is already in the bug comments, and |
| 10 |
I voted yes because it seemed to be the preference of most non-systemd |
| 11 |
users on the mailing list. I can't say whether this is still the case |
| 12 |
but I'm guessing it is. I don't think it is really a well-founded |
| 13 |
preference but I don't really see a point in fighting it when people |
| 14 |
can use whichever they prefer. |

If the eudev bus factor drops from 1 to 0 and people get tired of |
| 17 |
dealing with it, I suspect switching back will become more popular. |
| 18 |
If that never happens that is fine too. If people have unusual |
| 19 |
configs not addressed by eudev, or just plain old good taste, they |
| 20 |
can always use udev or systemd. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If eudev were causing serious problems or holding back other projects |
| 23 |
for some reason I'd feel differently. Otherwise I tend to agree with |
| 24 |
the sense that if you're going to make a change there should be a |
| 25 |
reason. The reason for the previous change was that a strong majority |
| 26 |
had a strong preference. Based on the tone of discussion I'm not sure |
| 27 |
that has changed - there isn't as much vehemence in the discussion, |
| 28 |
but I suspect that is mostly because most don't think this is likely |
| 29 |
to happen so they don't bother to reply. |
