Might be true but how about digging up some references that this was
done on purpose. It makes little sense to me that if someone did this
on purpose, breaking lots of old scripts, leaving broken udev rules
laying about and just assuming everyone would figure it out without so
much and a news item then I'd say it was done pretty badly.
Again, if it truly was 'on purpose' as you say then that's OK, but
let's not create too much false history here. In my mind it's just as
reasonable that it's just a mistake or someone that was overlooked,
but I'm totally open to you showing us what we all missed.
