I think it is advantageous that udev be included as an option for those who prefer to make certain that no unforeseen incompatibilities creep in. Use udev, eudev, vdev or none of the above, the end user should be the one to make that decision, although Devuan could certainly chose a preference for default.

Whatever discussions are in progress, the fact it can be built from the same source package as systemd is entirely immaterial from an engineering standpoint.  Besides, if Devuan forces users to use only their preferences, Devuan risks future fragmentation.  Debian already made that mistake.

I think the fact that I pointed out clearly shows that there is very
good technical reason to exclude udev, unless you are willing to be the
maintainer of udev outside systemd source tree in Devuan.
