Me? Insist? Really? Doesn't sound like me...I'm far too weakly-opinionated! I do remember udev using tree(1) for its tests, but can't remember my rationale for excluding it. A quick google hints at this being around the 2005 timeframe [0], but I can't find any incriminating evidence pointing the finger directly at me for not putting tree in the book. I've only just realised now though that not only do we not run the tests in LFS (which is why this has probably been unnoticed until now, at least by me), but we don't even mention why this package isn't tested.
