What is "all"? Do we really have to wait 10+ years just because some random disto doesn't want to update their kernel? Since when does systemd care about what random distros do? > Keeping the userspace firmware loader for a little longer costs us > nothing and simplifies things for downstreams.

That solves more problems than sticking with this code does... thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
