Before trading in vdev for eudev, consider this question: What if Red
Hat bought their way into maintainership of eudev, poetterized it, and
emptied out previous versions on Git. That's what they did with dracut.

Are Gentoo and Slackware good stewards for eudev? Slackware has
consistently avoided a commitment never to go with systemd, and Gentoo
(as opposed to Funtoo) is very proud of their init agnostic stance,
which of course they'll kick to the curb at the slightest pressure from
Redhat.

I love the idea of experimenting with eudev: It's free software, maybe
we can improve vdev with what we learn from it. But for reasons stated
in my previous two paragraphs, I think moving our target from vdev to
eudev would be a bad idea.
