You are not getting the point. Tell me whatever udev breaks for you.

You want an old devfs designed for 2.4 not being able to create out of
the userland the needed devices? A devfs that is under no current
Maintainership? A devfs that has a lot of bugs open since years? Well
wipe udev, out of your system, build your own kernel. But stop telling
the Developer what they should do or not. 

On other Mailinglists i often discuss they say something like:

Shut the fuck up and hack it.

You wan't something to become better? Send in patches. 

You are saying you want new features but please not at the cost of
errors. Maybe you should then install a FC4 Test1 and help the
Developers to merge all those bugs out of the System before they
release. Nowadays there is so much hardware you can buy how should ever
come a release out with everything testet against all odds?

Maybe you can go to your local reseller and buy all the parts you need
for that. 

The funniest thing is that the original Author of this Thread is whining
about how bad udev is in FC3 and talks about business Integration.
Fedora Core was never thought to be Business Ready. Never. From the
first Release to the Newest RedHat has always clarified that Fedora Core
is that what is upcoming in _FUTURE_ stable Enterprise Releases. So with
using it, filing bugs you are helping the customers from RedHat to get
another stable and fine Enterprise Linux. With the benefit that you can
use bleeding Edge Technology Free from any fee.

Q: What are the core benefits of this change? 

A: Changing the product to a project will:
	* Babbel
	* Allow us to use The Fedora Project to develop and mature the
          latest, greatest technologies that may be incorporated later
          into products like Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
