mdev is not an udev replacement. It's a very minimalist udev designed
for embedded systems and initramfs. These days, a full-featured system
require a dynamic /dev and AFAIK the only existing and up-to-date tool
for this job is udev.

I don't think any other distro attempted to get free of udev as it means
coming back to 10 years ago, at least.
