We don't support udev in an separate tarball anymore. We do support udev built from the systemd tree used independently of systemd. We need that for our own initrds, so we will support that for a long time.

Is there a big problem to write a couple of lines that generate a separate udev tarball for those who don't need the systemd part?

I don't think Ubuntu is using a tarball, I think they are using git.

(I was going to write a mocking post initially)

There isn't a big problem having the systemd code in the source tarballs for udev packages.

"We don't support udev in an separate tarball anymore. We do support udev built from the systemd tree used independently of systemd. We need that for our own initrds, so we will support that for a long time."

Then why did you say in your Google+ posting:

"Because [Canonical] have not adopted systemd they will have to continue to develop and support infrastructure (such as ConsoleKit, independent udev) that is officially orphaned by its developers and maintainers. They are stuck with a half-obsolete stack that receives no new development"

Both your statements cannot be true, except perhaps in relation to ConsoleKit (if independent development of that is ceasing), but that is a relatively trivial piece of code.
