>From a practical standpoint, I wouldn't, at least for the present time. At
the moment, udev is still maintained (within the systemd source tree) as
far as I am aware, so there is no reason to fork udev. That might change
overnight if kdus gets merged into the kernel source. I do not think that
has happened as of yet. I've not kept up with the last 2-3 kernel
releases.

I can tell you with reasonable certainty that Gentoo forked udev into eudev
some time ago, although I am not currently privy to their reasoning as to
why or how well maintained it is. I'd have to do some research.
