I suspect they would have had similar issues with other distros, but |
| 16 |
that would have been years ago when udev made the change and eudev |
| 17 |
decided not to merge it. That dates to around the time eudev started. |

They may very well have done more hand-holding or mitigation for the |
| 20 |
other distros simply due to their popularity, and also uniformity. |
| 21 |
The distros themselves probably also did some mitigation around this |
| 22 |
change so that the average Ubuntu user who doesn't know what an "eth0" |
| 23 |
is wouldn't have to be aware of the change. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
With Gentoo a certain amount of this stuff just has to be dropped on |
| 26 |
the user simply because we can't be sure users didn't change things, |
| 27 |
and indeed being able to change this stuff is part of the appeal of |
| 28 |
Gentoo. Besides, Gentoo users probably would want to be aware of it |
| 29 |
anyway... |
