I'm not very fond of this idea for several reasons: * We're talking about 36 files in /etc/modprobe.d/ installed by 28 packages, according to apt-file. After the first request their contents are cached by the kernel anyway, so the performance impact should be negligible even if modprobe is called a hundred times during bootup. I've read #517954, and I'm getting these warnings myself, but the delay is way below one second here. And did anyone notice a considerable delay at all before the warnings appeared? * Not installing udev (or installing, but disabling it) is still a viable way to run a Debian system. Last time I checked, X ran fine with a static /dev even though it depends on hal (and thus udev) nowadays. * As from my personal experience mt-st is mostly installed on headless servers somewhere in a rack, the use cases of udev and mt-st couldn't be more contrary. Or is there a plan to make udev strictly mandatory in the future? > Please also read http://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_236 for a detailed > rationale about this request. Thanks, done.
