-- use mknod(2) and not execute mknod(1)
-- add klibc to the build process (or make it easier to do) to get
- smaller binary
-- make program work like design says it should (three parts, not 1)
+This is a short list of things that needs to be done. They are in no specific
+order. I will gladly accept patches for any of these items, or any other stuff
+people offer up.

+- add modifiers and more documentation about the config file to the man
+ page.
+- add ability to capture CALLOUT result and use it in a device name.
+- fix kernel name logic to handle devices like sdaj and such.
+- make real test harness and have the tests be automated (instead of
+ relying on me knowing what the proper files should be created.)
+- 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.
