The bare udev shouldn't be that huge, then you start look at the glib |
| 22 |
integration and such and it might get a bit more than you'd like. |

Forking udev and making sure it stays as lean as possible isn't that bad. |

Making mdev a bit richer and enjoy the speed advantage of busybox over |
| 27 |
stand alone shells could be another option. |

Most of the perceived speed in non-shell init systems is due not having |
| 30 |
to spawn as many processes. A full busybox wouldn't spawn many processes. |
