How many people would you have working on a udev fork, compared to the Gentoo guys working on mdev *already*, freeing us from a hostile upstream?
At many level, udev has been really annoying, breaking upgrades and so on. As one wrote previously: mdev and OpenRC lack hostile upstreams! :) If there's some people working on a "credible udev replacement", please, let's not laugh about it, and hope it soon integrates the needed features. I salute those trying to help to move in this direction. Let's also not forget that we have quite some time remaining until Jessie will be released. Can't you give them a chance?
