-- use mknod(2) and not execute mknod(1)
-- add klibc to the build process (or make it easier to do) to get
- smaller binary
-- document the config file format (it will change over time...)
-- persistant naming database backend
-- make program work like design says it should (three parts, not 1)
-- add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed
-- lots of other stuff...
+
+ 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
