Nobody has ever paid me to do anything involving open-source software,
systemd or otherwise.

My point is just that there is no need to change today, because:
1.  udev works just fine today
2.  If udev doesn't work just fine in the future, we can just change
the virtual.  One-line change.

That's all.  I'm not saying that there might not be other reasons to
change the virtual.

I'm just saying that the possibility that udev might break in the
future isn't any more a reason to change the virtual than the
possibility that eudev might be abandoned in the future.

I love it when Patrick violently agrees with me.  :)
