19 Thing I like about the fork, if people get fed up with udev, udev falls
20 flat on its face or something else causes udev to fail, we have a udev
21 already ready. That statement may not be true for another couple months
22 or so but at least there is a Gentoo plan B.

24 Also, I can get rid of dracut too. ;-)

26 Walter, I wonder how much your work helped this along? If you had not
27 stepped up and did what you have done, then this fork may have never
28 happened. You could have at least let others know there are people
29 looking for something else. If so, thanks for that. :-D
