What I'm trying to say here is: let's rip this code out once all stable distros out there in the wild ship a kernel with builti-in firmware loader support, but please not before. Keeping the userspace firmware loader for a little longer costs us nothing and simplifies things for downstreams. So let's be nice to them. I don't see a good reason to rush the removal of the userspace firmware loader. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
