So, is it not better for us Gentoo-er's that wish to not install systemd, to set the default non-systemd udev to eudev. In that way, maybe eudev will get more contributed support and Anthony more eyes on things. It seems that unless kdbus is perpetually rejected by the kernel team... it is only a matter of time. So, I say, we've all had enough bickering about the subject. Time for a final vote! If we had all spent our time working on real problems as we've spent reading this never ending debate mail... but alas, this will be yet another item that must be decided by the council. -- Brian Dolbec <dolsen>
