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. > What would match on and deliver all the kernel events to subcribers? 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.
