... no matter how much you tried to reduce your role, I'm forever indebted to you for introducing me to an alternative to udev that's much more suitable for a server environment.

To use MikeMol's phrase: I tip my hat to you.

That said, honestly even if systemd-udev dies a fiery death, I don't think I'll leave mdev for Gentoo-udev; as with other SysAdmins, I prefer my system an amalgamation of small, specialized components that I can troubleshoot piecemeal, rather than having an überdaemon (mis)handling all stuff for me...
