-- 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.
+  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 convert firmware.sh to C
+  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 get rid of braindead "scan all devices to find myself" libusb interface
+      if it can not be fixed, drop libusb entirely
+  o remove copy of bsg.h
+  o drop all support for the DEPRECATED sysfs layout
+  o add warning for BUS, SYSFS, ID
