So, what qualifies for "the moment a "fringe" program reaches critical mass
to become "maistream", the probability of it needing udev (directly or
indirectly) will increase."
Again, quoting _your_ definition.
I gave you examples of programs which have reached critical mass, which
don't require udev.
And, I'm not attaching your character, for I know you not ... just
attacking your FUD!
