-udev version:
+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 remove broken %e enumeration
-    (simple enumerations can't work and should go)
+  o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
+    (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)

 
 

-  o remove MODALIAS + $modalias
-    (ENV{MODALIAS}, $env{MODALIAS}, $sysfs{modalias} will do it)
+  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)

+udev version:
+  o remove old udevdb dump 'udevinfo -d'
+    (-e exports everything)

 
 

-  o remove udevsend, udevstart and their man pages
+  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)
