Unless you plan to stay on Gnome 2 forever or fork it you might want
to consider that Gnome at some point is going to require systemd, let
alone udev.  Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

Not that mdev doesn't have its uses, but you're probably not going to
be running future releases of Gnome on it.
