I don't understand why people keep banging on about Poettering in this, |
| 26 |
previously finished, thread. The announcement was made by the OpenRC |
| 27 |
maintainer and applies equally to those running eudev as udev. That is, |
| 28 |
systems free of that individual's influence. Whatever anyone's opinion of |
| 29 |
the way he is taking things, and for the record I don't like systemd, |
| 30 |
this is a situation that arose without his help. |
