-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
 
-greg k-h
-greg@kroah.com
+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)
 
+  o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
+    (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
 
-- more documentation (can never have too much.)
-- document the config file format (it will change over time...)
-- add proper man page
-- add klibc to the build process (or make it easier to do) to get
-  smaller binary
-- import latest libsysfs and convert udev to use it.
-- On remove, look up the device in the database (now that we have one) and
-  delete what was created, not what the kernel is calling the device.
-- 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.)
-- add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed
-- lots of other stuff...
+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)
