Yes, today. It wasn't yesterday and it may not be tomorrow. I like udev, |
| 6 |
but I do not like the direction it is taking. I am not alone in this and |

there may be a critical mass needed to create an alternative, whether |
| 8 |
that be an evolution of mdev or something completely new. |

You cannot assume that you can make whatever changes you want and all |
| 11 |
users will follow, that's why there are so many new Xubuntu and Mint |

users. |

You are clearly happy with udev and already want/need an initramfs. Don't |
| 15 |
fall into the same trap as the udev developers and think that what you |
| 16 |
want it was everyone else wants. |
