Relax man. That's why "fringe" is written QUOTE fringe UNQUOTE, and |
| 30 |
"mainstream" is written QUOTE mainstream UNQUOTE. If it makes you |
| 31 |
happy, replace "fringe" with "GNOME/KDE/XFCE/lvm2-not-related" and |
| 32 |
"mainstream" with "GNOME/KDE/XFCE/lvm2-related". That's using the very |
| 33 |
same definition that Walter (the guy behind the mdev-instead-of-udev |
| 34 |
effort) used just three mails below (or above, depending on your email |
| 35 |
client). |

Please chill, no need to get all worked out. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
And I maintain my prediction. |
