People have been saying that for years. Maybe it will happen some |

The sys-fs/udev package only works without systemd. It is the |

upstream udev implementation. |

If that ever happens the udev package will go away. Its only purpose |
| 26 |
is for running udev without systemd. |

By all means make an informed decision about whether you want to run |

| 30 |
to be installed. |
