+These things will change in future udev versions:
+  o make DRIVER== to match only the event device

-These things are scheduled for removal sometimes:
+  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)

+  o remove old udevdb dump 'udevinfo -d'
