Might be true but how about digging up some references that this was |
| 16 |
done on purpose. It makes little sense to me that if someone did this |
| 17 |
on purpose, breaking lots of old scripts, leaving broken udev rules |
| 18 |
laying about and just assuming everyone would figure it out without so |
| 19 |
much and a news item then I'd say it was done pretty badly. |

Again, if it truly was 'on purpose' as you say then that's OK, but |
| 22 |
let's not create too much false history here. In my mind it's just as |
| 23 |
reasonable that it's just a mistake or someone that was overlooked, |
| 24 |
but I'm totally open to you showing us what we all missed. |
