Gentoo guys starting a fork of udev

[Thomas Goirand <zigo@debian.org>]

Hi,

I think this is an interesting read:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/2262

The full thread is here:

As Gentoo guys and some major kernel people are protesting about the
insanity Kay and Lennart have done to udev, probably this is a window of
opportunity to stop being annoyed in Debian, by brutal RedHat decisions
which we don't necessarily (have to) agree on (eg: move to /usr, merge
with systemd, etc.).

Thoughts anyone? Would anyone have time to work with Gentoo? What is the
view of the kernel team and the udev (marco?) maintainers?

Cheers,

Thomas
