-This is a short list of things that needs to be done.  They are in no specific

-- more documentation (can never have too much.)
-- install the proper init.d script based on the distro we are running on.
-- persuade the distro packagers to submit their changes (or just steal them
-  if we can find them...)
-- 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.)
-- lots of other stuff...
+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
+
+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)
+
+  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)
+
+  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)
