There is code in the udev binary that works for kernel patches that have remained out-of-tree for 8+ years. Are you going to rip that out now? :) Sometimes you have to add code to projects in order to be able to properly test the kernel code. And to make it easier for people to upgrade their kernels in the future and have things work properly on their existing, older, system tools. This happens all the time, I don't know why you are suddenly surprised about this. As long as this new code doesn't break things for users without those kernel patches, why would you object? Are you having to maintain these new features for some reason? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
