OT: Yes, New Coke. Not such a mistake but an advertising Coup. A lot of noise 
over nothing but noise gets results.

Unfortunately, in our field, noise is more a sign of trouble.

All those packages are now 208-7. Several bugs closed, a few more added for 
good measure. Anyone using the systemd and udev 208-7? Or wait ... for how 
long? Of put n the command line and install shim?
