I've already got the trivial patch that upgrades Udev, but doesn't strip out 
Udev-config.  It's been build-tested but not boot-tested currently.  It may 
have an impact on the minimum host-kernel pre-req, but I don't have anything to 
test on to confirm/deny this.  My proposal would be to just chuck it over the 
wall and see what breaks - this is trunk after all :-)  I certainly don't think 
it needs its own branch.

I think stripping out Udev-Config is fairly safe too - the discrepancies I 
flagged may cause some breakage in some esoteric use cases/devices but I think 
by and large people will still be able to boot and use LFS-based systems.  Any 
breakage can be easily rectified by including new rules in an LFS-format patch, 
which can then be submitted upstream for their consideration.

Regards,

Matt.
