The guys from ProFUSION would disagree with you: http://profusion.mobi/ It is a "a software development company focused on embedded systems", and several of its employees contribute code and ideas for systemd, so they also use udev. For embedded systems. The idea that udev "is simply to large" is simply incorrect, I believe.
