Scott just gave a presentation about the plumbing layer, and mentioned
that. It came as quite a surprise to me, too, and that's why I wrote "I
hear", not "it is" :) I'll ask him about this.

As far as I understood it, libudev would stay for client-side programs
(reading events from netlink and enumerate from /sys), and the udev
database would stay for the properties, but the udev daemon
would/could go away.

Martin
