Hmm, so if I understand correctly then it's actually very
possible that
updates/new distro versions will be shipped that deny things that were
previously allowed by default, as long as there is a boolean to switch
them off?
That sounds like by default every time you upgrade, programs might
break. There must be a better way to deal with this.
Hey. At least we're giving them a boolean. There's lots of stuff that
gets ripped out and breaks stuff (see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
for what's currently on the chopping block.
Try installing a recent RedHat system without udev - that requires more work
than just a boolean to work around. ;)
