I don't recall that news item but for my memory, that was a long time
ago.  So, it is safe to remove udev and it is being replaced by
systemd-utils?  OK.  I can live with that.  I did a news list and
grepped for udev.  It didn't find that given that name and I may have
missed it with that name since I don't use systemd.  Oh well. 

Now I got to remember to keep a eye out for changes to this instead of
udev.  o_O 

Thanks much.
