Well I just commited the warning and the config file example...

The last changes of udev spell highlight some problems for me...

I really appreciate the help of general gurus, however, I would like to be 
informed of the changes they made in my section. Yes, you read well, disk 
section is maintained !!! ;-p
I think there are enough bugs in others sections (1 in disk, about 230 in the 
rest of the grimoire), and especially in the unmaintained sections, to give 
enough work for all general gurus ;-p

Well, I didn't have to complain before... In general, nothing has caused 
problems. Why this time ??
*Three* general gurus have modified the udev spell in three days :
        - updated the spell to 0.51, ok....
        - modified udev.rules to match new version, ok....
        - then first bug, but quickly corrected by a general guru, almost 
before 
reporting... Well that was not too serious... 
(http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8215)
        - second bug then, corrected by your disk section maintainer (thanks 
to Paul 
Mahon) http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8216

But the most serious problem is that users *have not been informed* of the 
config files changes !!! Some of them complain on IRC of having spent hours 
to find why they have troubles with their boxes !!! A simple warning message, 
as I just did, should have been sufficient... 
I find this is really not very serious to made such a change on a so 
important 
spell, without any notification... Please stop think that *everybody* read 
the ML or IRC channels...

Well I hope I didn't made all general gurus my ennemies, all I want to have, 
is more communication. It is true that I'm not all time on IRC, but you can 
still mail me. Don't forget that when you made changes that cause a bug, this 
is the section maintainer who have to correct your bug. 

I think I'm not a too bad guru, so please give me some truth... I could have 
done the udev update by myself. 
If you want to maintain it by yourself, please tell me. (or move it to 
another 
section, I still don't understand why udev is in disk section, as it is not 
restricted to "disks" :-p )

Thanks in advance, I hope my words will be not misunderstood and that we can 
now work better together. :-)
