There is actually a kind of psychological effect on doing it this way, one to which I have to give credit to upstream for employing (whether they intended to or not). By having udev put things into directories that would also be used by systemd, if it was installed, it reminds people of the inevitability that one day, systemd will be the only viable init choice to boot a Linux system and make the userland functional. This is why you're witnessing some people reacting by switching out their device manager over a silly directory name. That's the psychology working. Debian's recent vote on the default init system in jessie is just further affirmation that, sysvinit is deprecated (last release was almost 4 years ago, too). Most future Linux systems that are based off of mainstream distributions will *have* to use systemd+udev in order to achieve maximum functionality. -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS ku...@gentoo.org 4096R/D25D95E3 2011-03-28 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
