> The systemd/udev maintainers have recently announced that compiling udev without systemd is no longer supported
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.
"We support stand-alone *operation* of the udev tools, but the build
system does not support a stand-alone *build*. The systemd tree needs
to be built and udev picked out of it."

it's not recent news.
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
