The lkml.org archive contains a broken link. How odd. There's
another message from Linus with the same subject:

That one's to the point... Linus may/will not react to conspiracy
theories about possible future commits, but it there's actual breakage
he'll right it as soon as someone says "kernel commit x breaks
mdev/mdevd by removing y; libudev copes since commit z so libudev
users should upgrade libudev and kernel in lockstep" for concrete
values of x, y and z.
But Linus stated explicitely in the past that applications
shouldn't access sysfs directly and sysfs wasn't to be considered
stable. Rob Landley (author of mdev) has made a lot of requests about
sysfs documentation to Kay Sievers and GKH and they systematically
refused and claimed they would break it and he should just use udev.
Which now means systemd.
