-order. I will gladly accept patches for any of these items, or any other stuff

+ o enumerate: sort control* after pcm*
+ o add tests for kernel provided DEVNAME logic
+ o drop modprobe floppy alias (SUSE), it will be in the module (2.6.30)
+ o convert firmware.sh to C
-
-- more documentation (can never have too much.)
-- document the config file format (it will change over time...)
-- add symlink generation and removal support
-- better partition support (it's a hack right now, maybe new libsysfs changes
- can help out a lot here.)
-- allow database to be queried by other programs
-- split program into two pieces (daemon and helper that sends events to it).
- This will allow us to keep track of sequences, and lots of other needed
- stuff.
-- keep track of current permissions on devices when daemon shuts down.
-- better permission handling
-- create kernel name to devfs name config file so that all of the devfs users
- will have an upgrade path.
-- do early boot logic (putting udev into initramfs, handle pivot-root,
- etc.)
-- add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed
-- lots of other stuff...
-- actually use the BUS= value to determine where the LABEL rule should look
- (right now it's ignored, and we only look in the current sysfs directory.)
- This is needed, for example, to look at the usb device's serial number of a
- usb-storage device, instead of the scsi device's sysfs directory for the
- serial number.
+ o symlink names to udevadm will no longer be resolved to old command names
+ o "udevadm control" commands will only accept the --<command> syntax
+ o drop all support for the DEPRECATED sysfs layout
+ o add warning for BUS, SYSFS, ID
