Yea, me too, especially since the whole "immutable" thing is an absolute joke. The original biosdevname was updated several times, and in many of the updates, the "immutable" name changed. This new scheme apparently uses the exact same algorithms (which broke in all the previous updates), to invent different names that are "better" in the opinion of the OCD moron who happened to have git commit rights, but of course since they are "better" that means they changed once again. How long will it be before some new developer with a different case of OCD decides they need to change again? How long will it be before a new motherboard manufacturer generates some new glitch they need to fix, which once again changes the "immutable" names. This would all be so much better if they went ahead and made their stupid immutable names, but also created the persistent name udev rules to remember the stupid immutable names and keep them the same across updates to the algorithms. This may be one of the more utterly absurd and useless "improvements" to ever land in linux. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
