> udev really shouldn't hard depend on systemd. I perfectly understand having some systemd specific integration, but why make it mandatory?

udev is part of systemd now, because the systemd developers were the only ones willing to maintain it.

Doesn't the existence of eudev disprove that?

(This is a serious question; I'm not trying to start a fight)

I think the existence of eudev proves that somebody is now willing to maintain a udev, but it wasn't always the case.

Eudev was forked in the immediate aftermath because systemd only cares about systemd. Even Torvalds strongly criticized systemd-udev maintainership[1].
