-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.

-- more documentation (can never have too much.)
-- 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.)
-- 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 add DVB variables to kernel, and drop shell script rule
+ o use libudev device in udev_rules.c
+ get rid of udevice, store rule matching state in rule iterator
+ o rework rules to a match-action list, instead of a rules array
+ o add watershed extra
+ o DEVTYPE for disks is set by the kernel, they will be removed from
+ the default rules
+ o "udevadm control" commands will only accept the --<command> syntax
+ o symlink names to udevadm will no longer be resolved to old command names
+ o remove "udevinfo -V"
+ o get distros to agree on a default set of rules
