This would be fantastic.

And that would solve this very much worrying issue [1], quoting:
"(Yes, udev on non-systemd systems is in our eyes a dead end, in case you
haven't noticed it yet. I am looking forward to the day when we can drop
that support entirely.)"

I think it's worth noting that even though udev 189 was recently released, the not-yet-released Ubuntu 10.10 is going to be including udev 175.
