That is frightening. Regardless of what you think of systemd, the udev maintainers have just said loudly and clearly "We don't care about you" to a substantial existing population of users.

I've checked the recent posts in udev's mail list and I can't find what dlang is talking about.

From http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.hotplug.devel/17444 (May 2012)

"We support stand-alone *operation* of the udev tools, but the build

to be built and udev picked out of it."

The recent news is that some Gentoo developers have (sortof) announced that they are planning to fork udev as a result of how it's being managed since being merged into systemd
