eudev is basically udev, forked by Gentoo from the systemd source tree

vdev is a separate device manager, written by Jude Nelson:

eudev is actively maintained by the Gentoo folks. vdev seems to not
have been given much love lately, but apparently it works fine in many
Devuan installations.

It is not unreasonable to assume that eudev might be the default
device manager in ascii, thanks to the work of parazyd, Svante, and
some others.

What about Mdev? I understand it has its limitations in DE environments, but
could that one be developed into a viable solution?

It is possible to use mdev (or even smdev, the suckless version:
https://core.suckless.org/smdev) if you don't need icons popping up
when you stick in any random USB-thing. It is also possible to use the
old MAKEDEV. It is just a matter of expectations.

    If you look towards using mdev, I suggest you google at "mdev like a boss". It provides a config file and infrastructure and explains how to get Xorg working without libudev. Trying it is on my todo list...
