Description

While preparing the 3.10* releases, it was decided to skip updating the config/binary_rootfs/squashfs.sort (except for the kernel ABI bump through sed → 9593161c98d48d5cff744db23e4d171819c46ebf.

While preparing the 3.11 release, I’ve seen a bunch of updates under /run/udev. Latest file has:

anonym also mentioned filtering *.pyc files? It might be worth a few minutes figuring out what we could filter out every time, so as to reduce the diff’s size on the long run?
