-These things need to be done, or would be nice to have:
-
-  o Log the relationship of the kernel name and the persistent disk name
+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.
-
-  o Fix inconsistency with KERNEL and ID. ID will walk up the device chain
-    but it matches on "KERNEL names" too. And ID and SYSFS can only match
-    on the same device in the chain. That's pretty hard to explain and to
-    understand. Same for SUBSYSTEM and BUS.
+    any of the links at that time
 
+These things will change in future udev versions:
+  o make DRIVER== to match only the event device
+    (DRIVERS must be used, we currently translate it to DRIVERS and print
+     a warning if DRIVER is used)
 
-These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future
-udev version:
+  o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
+    (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)
 
-  o remove broken %e enumeration
-    (simple enumerations can't work and should go)
+  o warn if any path component is used in a ATTR{}, ATTRS{},
+    $attr{} key, like ATTR{device/<file>}==
+    (parent attributes must not referenced directly in rules or tools,
+     udev finds the parents and makes them available, which can be matched
+     with the normal keys)
 
-  o remove devfs naming scheme rules and scripts
+  o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
+    (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
 
-  o remove MODALIAS + $modalias
-    (ENV{MODALIAS}, $env{MODALIAS}, $sysfs{modalias} will do it)
+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, udevsend
+  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)
