Well, I can't vouch for what the first issue that arose was, but I do |

recall discussion that bluetooth keyboards also required libraries in |

Right now it takes less common situations to trigger problems with a |
| 10 |
separate /usr, but the general trend is not favorable. It isn't just |
| 11 |
software changes either - if I told somebody 15 years ago that USB |
| 12 |
keyboards were going to be problematic but standard PS2 keyboards |
| 13 |
would always work just fine, they'd say there was nothing to worry |
| 14 |
about since PS2 keyboards would always be around. For all we know in |
| 15 |
5 years you won't be able to buy a USB keyboard. |

So, udev has been pushing things along to some extent, but the problem |
| 18 |
is definitely bigger than udev. |
