And what does Devuan do?

Hint: udev in Devuan is just the unmodified Debian package. So much for the "heavy lifting" done by Devuan in the last years.

And udev w/o systemd is still supported upstream, just not building only udev (one also builds the systemd binaries and throws them away).

You mean the "This system is mothballed."?

So, one person tried to write a replacement for udev and gave up. What should that tell me?
