eudev is a stop gap solution.  If you look at the notes, there are two 
major changes that I did not include.  As these accumulate with the 
integration of kdbus, we'll be in some trouble.  Probably I would refork 
based on a refactorization of their code.

I am currently skeptical of alternatives.  I have not seen one really 
"win the day".
