12 Yes, it's still true, there is no reason to change away from sys-fs/udev
13 except for sys-libs/musl use,
14 and even then, I'd be happy to accept musl compability patches for
15 sys-fs/udev's ebuild, but the
16 sys-libs/musl maintainer decided to put his work to sys-fs/eudev
17 instead. So unless some user
18 does the work for him...
19
20 I wouldn't worry about it at all, there is no way *sys-fs/udev ebuild*
21 will ever need systemd. There
22 might be a news item later, with instructions on moving to something
23 else, but that's not something
24 we are even planning at the moment, so sys-fs/udev is still the de facto
25 proper upstream /dev
26 manager.
