Yes. Eudev should be the target goal for now until Jude can get vdev stabilized. There's also the aspect of using Busybox-mdev (mdev-like-a-boss project has a lot of insight on this for generalized usages) though this would forgo any allowances of evdev drivers for input devices and require the fallback individual input drivers.
