"To the typical end user, if this results in a faster boot then mission accomplished. With udev being phased out in favor of systemd performing those tasks we'll have to make the decision at some point between whether we want to try to maintain udev ourselves, have systemd replace just udev's functions, or if we want the whole kit and caboodle. Wayland, by comparison, seems fairly innocuous, assuming that they'll be able to implement network transparency either directly or through some kind of add-on compatibility layer. Again, another thing that most desktop users don't have a lot of use for but many users can't do without. I like X11, and would probably stick with it if moving to Wayland meant losing that feature, even if Wayland's rendering method carried with it some benefits like reduced rendering artifacts or increased video performance. I guess we'll just have to see what the overall benefit is when it's far enough along to make such comparisons."
so udev
at the time of the interview (06.07.2012) there were not as many alternatives to upstream udev
later logind might be problematic, but there will probably be a good enough alternative (also systemd will release a stable API version, maybe)
slackware is not small and is kept quite up to date (newest alsa, gcc, firefox etc and last stable kernel, xorg etc.)
i suggest doing some research before assuming
more then that i suggest not putting things into other peoples mouths
