\agendaitem{New udev and separate /usr partition}
\index{separate /usr}\index{package!sys-fs/udev}

\vote{Decide on whether a separate /usr is still a supported configuration.
If it is, newer udev can not be stabled and alternatives should be
investigated. If it isn't, a lot of documentation will have to be
updated. (And an alternative should likely still be provided.)}{
The council has voted in favour of a separate /usr being supported
(5 yes, 1 no vote).}

During the discussion, some concerns were raised that we might not be
able to provide a modified or forked udev version. Chainsaw assured
that if necessary, he will maintain a udev version that supports said
configuration.

It was remarked that a solution that comprises both the forked udev
version (separate /usr) and the latest versions is possible and
therefore should not block either way preferred by users.


\agendaitem{herds.xml and mail aliases}
\index{herds.xml}\index{mail aliases}

\vote{Should devs be required to add themselves to herds.xml when adding to
mail alias?}{
This was rejected by the council (5 no votes).}
