-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.
+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

+These things will change in future udev versions:
+  o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
+    (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
 
-- fix kernel name logic to handle devices like sdaj and such.
-- more documentation (can never have too much.)
-- 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.)
-- 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.
+
+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
+    (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)
