[T.J. ] Please understand that I very much respect your position, and I agree 
with you that a "put up or shut up" attitude can be warranted in many 
instances.   However, I do not believe that this is one of them.  The shortest 
and most reasonable route to release a stable 1.0 of Devuan is to use udev for 
the present.  THAT in and of itself trumps your concerns in my opinion.  I will 
admit that I find Jude's proposal intriguing - but it is hardly ready for use.  
Eudev might make a good replacement, but udev is still the best candidate in 
terms of people using it if you follow the principle that "eyes make bugs 
shallow".

What I am going to say next is no reflection on you, nor anyone else here.  But 
since the subject came up, I will be straightforward with you.  I know that 
some might take offense to what I am going to say, and that's fine.  If you 
feel that I should not make future comment, then by all means, please ignore 
me, and I won't speak further with you on the subject.

I could maintain udev, if I were actually part of Devuan.  While I have 
recently returned to the list, I am waiting to see what Devuan is going to do 
with 1.0 before I decide to commit any effort to the project.  If one of the 
VUAs asked me to assist with a specific task, I would consider it - but 
otherwise, I will not.   Past experience with the Devuan community has left me 
in a position of uncertainty about becoming actively involved at all.  From my 
point of view, past conversations here have been as "toxic" as Debian and the 
rest of Linux in general.  

I find that tiresome, and until I see something to inspire me, I am unmoved. 


Best regards
T.J.
