As far as I know, there are currently no plans to move to udev as default for a while. We do, however, have to have support for it, especially for archs like AMD64 - 2.4.23-pre* removes devfs for AMD64 due to bugs. I, personally, think udev sucks and will really miss devfs. -- Jon Portnoy avenj/irc.freenode.net -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
