valid has no value here. Meino is trying to get his embedded (hack job) |
| 12 |
to shutdown. He first needs to get this accomplished before |
| 13 |
finding/developing a robust solution for his unique embedded needs. |
| 14 |
This is how most embedded workflows propagte, often with a singular dev. |
| 15 |
Meino is very lucky, he has the gentoo community to toss him ideas |
| 16 |
on a regular basis. |

So no, not part of regular system administraion. YES for a transient |
| 20 |
solution to an embedded hack. |
