As I have said before, I admire a lot what Walter et al. are doing, |
14 |
and as I always will say, this is how our community works: people |
15 |
writing the code (as Walter is doing) are the ones that get things |
16 |
done. This is the correct (and only) way to address a problem |
17 |
(perceived or real) with the current status: write the code that does |
18 |
the thing the way you want it. Complaining and crying that you don't |
19 |
like the direction some part of the stack is taking is at best a waste |
20 |
of time, and at worst idiotic. Actually doing something about it (as |
21 |
Walter is doing) is the smart thing to do. |

Seeing some people comparing udev to XFree86 is one of the more |
39 |
bizarre things coming out from this fork, and that's saying. However, |
40 |
I agree with Doug that anyone should code whatever they want to code. |

Who knows, maybe something interesting would come off from this fork, |
42 |
and it certainly doesn't affect us happy Gentoo+systemd+udev users. |
