-This is a short list of things that needs to be done.  They are in no specific
-order.  We will gladly accept patches for any of these items:
+These things would be nice to have:
+  o log the relationship of the kernel name and the persistent disk name
+    to syslog, so any error logged from the kernel can be associated with
+    any of the links at that time

 
 

-- Completely replace the built-in wait_for_sysfs stuff in udev_sysfs.c
-  by rules using the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key.
+These things will change in future udev versions:
+  o remove /sys prefix from symlinks in /dev/.udev/{queue,failed}
+    (broken tools search /dev for files and get lost following to /sys
+     and stat() sysfs files million times)

 
 

-- Log the relationship of the kernel name and the persistent disk name
-  to syslog, so any error logged from the kernel can be associated with
-  any of the links at that time.
+  o make DRIVER== to match only the event device
+    (DRIVERS must be used, we currently translate it to DRIVERS and print
+     an error if DRIVER is used)

 
 

-- remove klibc tree and make it an external dependency
+  o switch to fnmatch() instead of our own implementation

 
 

+  o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
+    (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)
+
+  o warn if "/device/" is used in a ATTR, ATTRS, $sysfs key
+    (the device link must not be used in rules or tools, udev resolves
+     the link and makes the devices available as parents, which can
+     be matched with the normal keys)
+
+  o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
+    (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
+
+These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future
+udev version:
+  o remove old udevdb dump 'udevinfo -d'
+    (-e exports everything)
+
+  o remove udevstart
+    (we rely on the kernel "uevent" triggers of kernel 2.6.15 and no longer
+     want to guess event properties from sysfs like udevstart is doing it)
+
+  o remove extra for /etc/dev.d/ /etc/hotplug.d/
+    (that inefficient stuff should finally go away)
