As far as I can tell this is not really relevant to us, and we should not expect any great problems from sticking with .32. I'll fix some minor issues I found (lacking static device nodes) when I push the next udev-compat release. When that is done, the only outstanding issue is the udev rules. The upstream rules are kept up-to-date with the latest kernel release and rules are removed when they are no longer needed. We might want to review the changes to the rules since udev-149, to check if there are any rules that have been changed/removed that we want to add back in. Preferably any additions we make should go upstream in "rules/misc/30-kernel-compat.rules". I'll still write a news item regarding the removal of devtmpfs support, but it seems that there is no reason to worry about .32 kernels. Cheers, Tom
