Last summer it was a filesystem deadlock. Hope you won't face it now :)

At least not the "udev under /usr" part. The thing is,
- I actually run it with separate /usr and see no problems;
- nothing bothers me about a non-issue for no reason.

It's the messenger which was instructed to, well, lie.

And the instructor seems to have a stance that dumping that all on a user is more sane than going after those who are ignorant enough to introduce that crap in the first place (remember RH#534047?).

Now that's weird. I wouldn't waste time on Mr. Hughes but Lennart is, or at least was for many years (judging as a packager), much different.
