Steady on, old chap! By "it" I was meaning the general inconvenience
all round occasioned by the changes between udev-{197,200}. Not
everybody encountered this. For example Dale, and Walt D. didn't have
to do anything. But pretty much everybody else did.
I was just trying to help Nick get his servers back up asap. I should
imagine having down servers is even more nerve wracking than down
desktops. (Down pillows are OK, though ;-).
I've now got p6p1 instead of eth0. It's irritating, but not irritating
enough for me to be bothered to do anything about it.
