The price of depending on Udev-Systemd and Dbus. The price of not
being assured of the future of Eudev and of Vdev. The price of the
complexity of all these.

What makes you think it should be restricted to initramfs? For sure
it was meant to have a small footprint and small resource usage, but I
don't think it sacrifies any functionality, except it lacks the
equivalent of libudev, which library seems to be used only by Udev
itself and Xorg.
