8 Not very. It would need proper documentation, however, and at least
9 indications on limitations or consequences of choices. If we were to
10 add a device manager step to the handbook, it would be poor form to
11 focus on just systemd-udev vs eudev. There's mdev and a few other
12 alternatives out there as well, and they deserve at least a
13 mention-in-passing, so people know what all is available in the tree.

15 Otherwise, I agree that when considering eudev, blueness is basically
16 our upstream. Him being a Gentoo dev is coincidental and just allows
17 him to support Gentoo better. As he mentioned, he's upstream to
18 multiple distros, so I see no reason why Gentoo can't be considered
19 downstream while he's working on eudev.
