So, what qualifies for "the moment a "fringe" program reaches critical mass |
| 53 |
to become "maistream", the probability of it needing udev (directly or |
| 54 |
indirectly) will increase." |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Again, quoting _your_ definition. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
I gave you examples of programs which have reached critical mass, which |
| 59 |
don't require udev. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
And, I'm not attaching your character, for I know you not ... just |
| 62 |
attacking your FUD! |
