You misunderstand. |

I'm concerned about feature/dependency creep, where all of a sudden the |
| 18 |
Gentoo Council makes a decision (or is forced into a decision) that |
| 19 |
makes it *impossible* for eudev (or any alternative) to work without |
| 20 |
systemd. |

|
| 22 |
Or even worse, I actually had a dream (nightmare?) last night about an |
| 23 |
email to the list that went something like: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
"Announcement: The Gentoo Council, in its infinite wisdom, has decided |
| 26 |
to make Fedora Core the official upstream for Gentoo. This is being done |
| 27 |
to make all of our lives easier, and so that we can all have GNOME on |
| 28 |
the desktop." |
