Remove eudev ? #67

Closed NiKiZe closed 1 year ago

NiKiZe commented 1 year ago

Is eudev causing conflicts with other packages and no longer usable? should we drop it?

I still think systemd is still a uncontrolled cancer that spreads where it does not belong, so this is something that needs to be considered carefully.

Not to mention the use of the UnPredictable Network Interface Names Rant (maybe a bit to strongly worded, but still valid points) at https://web.archive.org/web/20131209211634/http://nikize.se/index.php/blog/show/unpredictablenetworkinterfacenames-madness.html

USE -udev on sys-apps/systemd-utils resolves the block
