You can't just switch to vdev, because many packages depend on libudev. Only udev and eudev provide it.
eudev is the only realistic option right now, because it's a drop-in replacement. Moreover, it's the only udev alternative with feature-parity. By the way, I'm not sure whether vdev is ready for the prime time.
