I agree unless they lock udev at 208 until further notice and only patch as needed. I noticed they have the systemd book as well.
Eudev is a viable alternative but there's also mdev as well. The only thing with mdev is it lacks certain automount functions, but it brings to question if hotplug could be revived specifically for it to serve as an intermediary subsystem for mdev. There's also hotplug2 from one of the WRT projects, openwrt I think.
The only issue with going away from udev is anything that used udev or even gudev would cease to function and couldn't be built. x11-input-evdev comes to mind, but for me, that driver's completely useless anyway. I have to always go back to the older standardized mouse, keyboard, and joystick separated drivers.
