Sure, I can see it clearly. It already works nicely on my box and is
more than 3 times faster. :)
The dev.d/ stuff can be replaced by a rule and acts by default like our
current udev. And systems that don't need it, just remove these rules,
add a few HOTPLUG= keys and get the big performance hit.

That decision is up to the system integrators. dev.d/ is causing the
biggest udev problems today, so I expect it will no longer be used in a
very short time if we provide a good alternative to it.

Thanks,
