planed final version number?

[udev]

What is the planed final version number?

When udev was 0.1 then I would expect that 1.0 will be the final (100%
working) version.

But now the current version is 011, does this mean that the 100% working
version will be numbered 999 or 1000? :-)

I tried udev 010 and it seems to me that _a lot of_ devices are _not_
created by udev. I don't remember which ones, but I think it was ps/2 mouse
(/dev/psaux) or serial modem (/dev/ttyS0) or something like this. Will this
change in future releases?

What is the planned final version number of Linux?  :)

Heh, 0.1 was a fully working version.

Who knows.  Who is one to say, "This is it"?  I changed the numbering
scheme because numbers really mean nothing more than a way to differ
different versions of the program over time.

That's not a udev issue, it's a kernel issue.  There are some patches in
the -mm kernel tree that provide sysfs support for misc devices (like
psaux), enabling udev to create those device nodes.

ttyS0 should work just fine with a 2.6.0 kernel, please let me know if
that is not true.

thanks,
