Hey everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that vdev can successfully boot to a console on the
Devuan vagrant image! It creates all requisite device files and loads all
requisite kernel drivers, both for the pre-boot initramfs environment (so
init can mount root) and in the early boot environment (while root is
mounted read-only). I'd like to thank you all for your patience and
support, with a special shoutout to the individual who goes by the name
"Scooby" on this list who helped me find and fix early-boot bugs.

We're well on our way now to replacing udev entirely. The only big-ticket
item remaining prior to an official alpha release is patching libudev so it
does not need to talk to udevd to query devices. This is only necessary
for applications that require libudev.
