6 kdbus got sent for inclusion in the kernel, and they were sure ready to

9 Whether switching to eudev now is premature is actually the central
10 issue of this whole discussion. Given that dropping support for udev on
11 non-systemd systems was narrowly avoided once, and upstream leaves no

13 bus goes upstream, I say describing such a move as "definitely
14 premature" is not warranted.
