This makes most of my test systems (suse 11.1, 11.2) spew scary WARN_ONs on every boot. GNOME then also complains. While it doesn't cause actual misfunction it scares me every time I boot and other people who can't read git logs like me will be unnecessary scared. Also the warning is completely useless: noone will be "fixing" udev on old distributions. IMHO that's not acceptable to break common user land like this. Linux is supposed to be binary compatible and this patch is not in this spirit. Actually removing the file later should be still fine, but not printing out these scary messages. I propose to revert this misguided patch for stable and 3.1 Thanks, -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only
