Just what I was saying: I said (right there) "the probability of it needing udev (directly or indirectly) will increase." I did not say it would *need* udev for sure; just that the probability of it needing udev would increase. I'm not spreading FUD; I'm just stating my opinion. And I stick to it; wanna bet that beer?
