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.
