Yes, you would be breaking existing users. Starting with anybody with static /dev. Or a debian userland, for that matter. Any systemd-free setup, actually. Changing device number assignments is not to be done lightly, whether they should've been set that way back then or not. As for Lennart's opinion... *shrug* He's free to do whatever he wants in systemd. It does not translate into having any kind of control over the kernel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
