Hi Walter, can you expand on the LVM2 problem you mention on the MDEV page and/or a link if there is one on the status?
I am building a new desktop (finally building as 64bit!) which will need lvm2 and after trying gnome3 for a couple of months on my existing machines, I have decided that its too unstable, too much of a resource hog and such a major productivity killer so its time to abandon ship. If I have to swim, I would like to use the opportunity to drop udev so I can avoid that train wreck as well.
