18 Surely that depends on how well-maintained eudev remains in the future?
19 And is therefore best answered by the package maintainers?

21 Like I said a little earlier, I really think your best bet is a udev
22 fork (even if it's eudev) maintained with the same effort input as udev
23 was before all this stuff started coming down the pipes.

25 what I do know is that eudev is already lagging behind udev, most likely
26 a symptom of limited time available from the maintainer.
