[arch-general] Lennart Poettering on udev-systemd

[Paul Dann]

That sounds like a perfectly fair attitude to have. Although the change may require a little thought, I really think SystemD will not suddenly make Arch difficult to use, though. Is that what you're worried about?

I'm from Germany, so I started with Suse and I still have an outdated
Suse installed. Suse doesn't fit to my needs. I tested Mint and Mint
doesn't fit to my needs. Arch did and still does fit to my needs. I just
fear that soon Arch won't fit to my needs. I'm not objective, I just
care about my needs. This is selfish, I'm aware of this. However, why
shouldn't I take care of my needs? I also work on a voluntary basis. I
fight for the rights of others, but I also fight for satisfying my
needs. That's all.
