Re (2): new udev



Folk,

Observations from bystander.

The message in syslog has a rather obscure way of 
putting that.  Can't a syslog message be as direct 
as Brian has stated it?

Non-obvious details, easily be clarified, are the location 
& use of the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option.  Where is it?  
Is it consulted when the kernel is compiled or or when the 
kernel is running?  

Also, there is no sense in every one of thousands of users 
world-wide spending time updating rules.  One of the benefits 
of Debian is that a population can benefit from effort of 
an individual.  So most users should wait for maintainers 
to update the .rules files.

Regards,          ... Peter E.
