IMHO this makes a good argument for the wait&see (aka keep sys-fs/udev default) position: - May 2014: Lennart writes the world will fall apart and udev will somewhat require systemd with kdbus. - May/June 2015: kdbus is first sent for review/merge for the linux 4.1 merge window (I think). - Feb. 2016: kdbus has been included then removed from fedora kernels, it is being reworked and is not even proposed for the linux 4.5 merge window. I'd say we still have some time to see how things will evolve :) Alexis.
