Yes, I'm aware that people use udev in initramfs/initrd... the point is, I disagree with it... I think fullblown udev for initramfs/initrd is just a huge overkill -- not that most people actually care... > I'm all for people working on what they want to work on, but perhaps you > might want to help working with us on making udev fit your requirements? Hmm, I guess I could; I thought it'd be faster (and it'd involve less hassle while discussing it with people) to write a fully working application, at least as a proof of concept...
