Hi Ralph.

     I had a look at the abovementionned link with my web browser. I 
think all the text is from Jude and part of it is at the first person, 
however I could'nt find a mention of his name, which, probably Jude 
forgot to insert.


     Do you think there's a way to mention that this is the beginning 
of  the take-over of an orphaned software authored by Jude Nelson and he 
is still the author of all of it, including the description and the FAQ? 
Or maybe the documentation should be re-written.


     I noticed with great interest that libudev-compat is completely 
independent of vdev, which is a very smart design decision of Jude. He 
further explicitely states that any other hotplugger can be used in 
place of vdev or udev, while still benefitting of libudev-compat. This, 
in my opinion, means that simpler hotpluggers, like mdev, can be used 
and allow Xserver.xorg to work, because what xorg requires is libudev's 
API. This confirms that the design of vdev is much smarter than udev, or 
that udev authors deliberately introduced a lock-in.
