Because I, like every other user should do, read the documentation, and thus
read you need util-linux 2.9g. And if it works for you with lower versions,
does it always work? Yes, maybe, no, maybe not. I don't even want to take
the risk of 'yes it works most of the time, but sometimes it doesnt', with
kernel-things.
You cannot say 'oh with this particular package, versions dont matter',
don't you think?
This is not meant as a disagreement to your 'claim', it's just that I think
it isn't wise not to listen to such requirements in general... that's also
the main reason I started the thread about slink/2.2.0.
