That includes Linus Torvalds, who is 'leery of the fact that the udev maintenance seems to have gone into some "crazy mode" where they have made changes that were known to be problematic, and are pure and utter stupidity.' https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/2/505 After speaking with several other Gentoo developers that share Linus' concerns, I have decided to form a team to fork udev. Our plan is to eliminate the separate /usr requirement from our fork, among other things. We will announce the project later this week. I understand that the council is scheduled to vote on a topic related to udev stabilization. Would it be possible to delay the vote for another month so that we have time to get organized?
