To be perfectly honest, while I understand why you want to build just udev, I'm not very sympathetic to the way you are framing it as an important issue. Let me make an analogy to illustrate how I see your plight:
There are two things wrong with your analogy:
1) it puts words in my mouth that I have never uttered, that make me appear as a moron. "panic attack"? I've expressed my current problems and my future concerns in a precise and documented way. "hate"? I don't know what it means.
2) it assumes that systemd is the only "modern" init suite, by depicting other solutions as old-fashioned or unreasonable, as "riding boots". This is not the case, as you certainly know. Moreover, people still ride horses, it's an activity that many people love. It's much more healthy than playing with xboxes.
Ah, a misunderstanding: Linux is a kernel, on top of which you can put several different collections of user-space applications. Some of them include and rely upon udev, others do not.
So you seriously worry about a day will come where all major player have agreed that systemd is the way to go, it serves all their usecases from servers, via desktops, tablets and smartphones to embedded.
so you are desperately in need of some guy to fork udev?
