In two decades of using "Linux" (building, deploying, supporting),
mostly Debian, *no*. And that's a "considered" opinion based on a fair
"understanding" of what's involved. udev and UUID are good examples. But
you're free to ride a donkey and run kernel_0.1 on steam power if you
want. Just as those without the experience or ability are free to
conflate "thought" and "imagination" so they can "intuitively"
"understand" what's involved in processes performed by people with
lesser "powers" who had to spend years learning the processes.
apropos of little. Conservatism - a faith (often associated with a gun
fetish) held by those who believe King Cnut conspired with the tide, and
a fear that all change is not inevitable, but the result of some sort of
liberal/communist/socialist/academic/freeloader plot that invariably
confirms their deeply held belief that "it's all about 'them' stealing
what's mine". Not a path to happiness or peace.
Kind regards
