Agreed. I suspect the status quo will remain in place for a while. If somebody forks udev and a bunch of distros switch to the fork, that could shake things up, although that could get really messy if the two projects start to diverge since we'd need compatibility layers for packages that use udev since either might be installed (only to the extent that they diverge). What I see as the most likely thing to lead to change is if/when GnomeOS actually starts to exist. When you can't run Gnome without systemd I'd expect to see a lot more Gentoo users running it. Then again, if Gnome jumps the shark, maybe not. In any case, seems best to just take the hurdles as they come. Rich
