odd is only cut most of my reply by Tom because with
it your last paragraph would have been not needed

after many years i know what "still" means........

"udev without systemd will still be supported after the merge"
is one example, "will still" menas "for a short timeframe"
in reality

again the paragrph tom stripped:

jesus christ, i have disabled on any server fsck after x days
or x boots because this will hit you always at the wrong moment
after a routine kernel update

i decide in my job as admin if the time is right for a fs-check
i decide this regulary with "touch /forcefsck; systemctl reboot"
i do not like to connect to the vCenter server, hold on the boot
in GRUB and add a param becaue it wastes time with no benefit in
such cases
