Rereading the NEWS file I see that it does indeed suggest adding the symlink as an alternative to updating initscripts+mkinitcpio. > On a related note from the same, for restarting, the `udevadm control > --exit && udevd --daemon` process should work for restarting for us > old farts not using systemd and not restarting our boxes once a week. > I believe you could also run `udevadm trigger` if you were worried you > missed any events. It should be pointed out that Kay also confirmed that restarting in this way would potentially lose events. I'm really not happy about adding a kludge whose only use-case is to do something that is kind of broken in the first place. That said, I guess we could do it to please the conservatives. At least in a transitional period, so we don't have to release all the packages at the same time (which I understood was one of the main objections). I'll mark it as deprecated though, and promise to remove it in the not too distant future. -t
