eudev is basically udev, forked by Gentoo from the systemd source tree

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Eudev

vdev is a separate device manager, written by Jude Nelson:

eudev is actively maintained by the Gentoo folks. vdev seems to not
have been given much love lately, but apparently it works fine in many
Devuan installations.

It is not unreasonable to assume that eudev might be the default
device manager in ascii, thanks to the work of parazyd, Svante, and
some others.
