Just what I was saying: I said (right there) "the probability of it |
| 62 |
needing udev (directly or indirectly) will increase." I did not say it |
| 63 |
would *need* udev for sure; just that the probability of it needing |
| 64 |
udev would increase. |

I'm not spreading FUD; I'm just stating my opinion. And I stick to it; |
| 67 |
wanna bet that beer? |
