My question is (hopefully) simple: Can I use systemd as drop-in replacement for udev? In other words, can I pretend that systemd is udev and continue using OpenRC as with udev itself? I would then apply just udev 204 to 208 update instructions (http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev/upgrade). I am using WindowMaker and systemd was pulled in by gnome-settings-daemon which in turn was pulled in by gdm. I would like to stick with gdm. Usually I feel pretty comfortable replacing one package with another if Portage wants so (e.g. because they block each other) but in this case I want to be extra careful. I did not find a clear answer to this. Usually people either migrate fully to systemd (replacing openrc) or stays with udev + openrc.
