Right now, ascii has the same version of udev as stretch - 232-23. I don't
know what LP is on. (Oh, that phrase has several meanings, and more than
one can apply.) Are there any deal-breaker problems with that version? I
haven't played with ascii much yet.

I'm not opposed to releasing testing images with eudev, and I think it
will be easy to get people to test it. (Aren't they begging for it?) But I
think it would be a bad idea to upgrade those people running ascii now to
eudev. If there are any problems with it, you'll have some angry users.
Keep it optional for now, please.
