udev-177 appears to require kmod3, yet the kmod3 announcement says:
"I'd not say distros could start shipping
kmod instead of module-init-tools yet."
There appears to be a miscommunication here.

There isn't.
If udev doesn't care about kmod's man pages, then it's good to start
using libkmod. For the udev's use cases, libkmod is pretty complete.
It can be installed in parallel to module-init-tools too if distros
don't seem confident to make a step further and replace it.
So far Archlinux seems to be the first one. kmod is in their testing
repo and they helped us a lot to fix some bugs. Then I'd say kmod 4
will be ready enough for distros.
regards,
Lucas De Marchi

Agreed on that. We don't have it in Slackware yet, but I've been
running it locally since v2 (and fully replaced m-i-t since v3),
and aside from a few minor issues (that have mostly been fixed),
it's fine.
