Using Udev Without Systemd Is Going To Become Harder

Soon we?ll see systemd start to depend on some gnome service or maybe Gtk3. Oh, it will be optional at first, no worries. And one year later we?ll have the ?choice? to either rewrite the whole Linux ecosystem, use Red Hat OS, or go back to Windows.

The headsup is that if no one does the work to provide those interfaced when udev finally starts to use them, those systems will be broken with the latest udev.
Those calling for modularity need to provide the modularity - this is just one more technology that has been given a heads-up of future requirements. Even outside the systemd tree you can't force maintainers to not use new features that make their lives easier.
Otherwise you will get to the same point as consolekit v logind where over 2 years advance was given but modularity was lost because no one stepped up to the plate to maintain consolekit/provide an alternative with the relevant interfaces.

Anyway, having systemd depend on GNOME or gtk+ is pretty ridiculous. Maybe at one point some optional tool is added which uses gtk+. At which point some distributions might show a gtk+ dependency and there will be huge threads about it.
In the various years since the creation of systemd, the minimum requirements have been pretty much the same: very recent kernel, very recent dependencies, not a lot of minimal dependencies. Various optional ones.
I don't understand the need to make up all these weird "this might happen" that I see so often on Phoronix..

I understood that usually those embedded cases are pretty much one-off. Make adjustments (kernel, etc), make the hardware, sell a lot, move on to the next hardware. My knowledge of embedded is really limited (just read what other people say about it), but having systemd (or any component) support specific adjustments would be a "nice to have" to me. Systemd easily works on a raspberry pi, and that hardware is old (meaning: for same price I'd expect you'd get -as a company- a much higher specification hardware).

I got corrected, and rightfully so.

Thanks,
