-These things would be nice to have:
- o get all distros to agree on a default set of rules
- o rework rules to a match-action list, instead of a rules array
-These things will change in future udev versions:
- o --device-id-of-file will print '5:8' instead of '5 8'
+ o drop support for node names in name stack, support only symlinks
+ With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
+ to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
+ From there on, only symlinks with identical names can be claimed
+ by multiple devices. It will simplify the logic a lot and shrink
+ /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also exclude "*/MAJ:MIN" link names
+ from the name stack, they can not conflict.
+ o remove most NAME= rules (they are provided by the 2.6.31 kernel)
+ o get rid of braindead "scan all devices to find myself" libusb interface
+ if it can not be fixed, drop libusb entirely
+ o convert firmware.sh to C
-These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future udev version:
- o DEVTYPE for disks is set by the kernel, remove it from the rules
+ 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
