Canek, I distinctly remember, at the very beginning of this brouhaha over
udev requiring /usr to be mounted at boot time, you stated something along
the lines of 'show me the code, then I'll believe that replacing udev is
doable'.

First, Walter Dnes came out with an amazingly complete -- considering it
was all done by just one man -- solution using mdev. You scoffed at him,
saying that mdev solution is incomplete.

Now, some respected Gentoo devs forked udev into eudev, and produced a
working solution, yet you still scoff at them.

In your eyes, udev has become like the cosmos: everything there is, and
ever shall be.

Greg KH and Diego Petteno are similar; they ridiculed a good forking by
spreading FUD, and almost totally unwilling to listen to rational arguments
from the devs about why udev is forked. As a result, they received great
opposition, in turn. Even Linus piped up at one point, sharply reminding
Greg KH that even though udev was at one time Greg's 'baby', at this point
udev serves only the wants of the few.

I'd say that you, Greg KH, and others denigrating eudev are udev fanatics,
preferring to denigrate anything outside the 'party lines' of udev+systemd.
