Comment(by bryan@…):
I think it's a huge pain to redesign the init system to be fully dynamic,
is what I was trying to say -- perhaps unsuccessfully. :-)
If udev removes the support for "settle" entirely (which I fully expect at
some point in the future here, given their previous behavior), there will
no longer be a way to handle /var or /usr on a separate partition (never
mind a separate machine :-) ) without a fully-dynamic init that listens to
udev as well. Our 100-line rc script will be impossible to make work.
(You'd need to have most of your init scripts depend on whatever mounts
/usr, and most of the rest to depend on whatever mounts /var. Those two
scripts will need to depend on the partition showing up, which depends on
udev handling that uevent, which is why it needs to notify init.)
Of course, if we can still call settle ourselves, this isn't an issue.
But I still think the mindset is scary. :-)
