> After reading that, it is natural to wonder if the current udev maintainers can truly be trusted to look after the interests of users who do not plan to switch to systemd. From there, it is not too hard to imagine maintaining a fork of udev as an "insurance policy" against misbehavior in the future.
openSUSE 12.2 is systemd only because the udev version it has: udev-182 has removed support for consolekit (on the rationale that the correct way to do this was integrated into systemd). Without that, you no longer get any desktop devices (like audio or DVD) if you boot udev-182 and sysvinit. So it might be technically true to say you can still boot with udev-182+ and sysvinit, but the system is not functional for a desktop.
