I expect systemd-udevd to be migrated into kdbus, which means libudev,
libgudev-1.0 and the
systemd-udevd binary itself will likely need the libsystemd-bus library,
which we will then package
and ship together with sys-fs/udev
Or if systemd-udevd binary starts requiring a running service of some of
the systemd services,
then we will make those available as well and run the from the
udev-init-scripts, or possibly
even adjust sys-apps/openrc to compensate for the inadequaties

Just trying to say, that even with kdbus pending, I'm not worried at all
