I know very well Steve. And that one is already too much for me (I
look in dmesg and use pmount).

I just wonder whether your nice solution is enough for a wider
audience used to have things popping up around all the time. I guess
it's not, as much as setnet is not a solution to manage networks
palatable to a wider audience, as much as apt-get is not the tool used
by the large majority of users to install packages, and so on.

Tinkerers will always be fine. But a distro that aims to be universal
like Devuan must also cater for those who are not willing to tinker
around, IMHO.
