I intend to apply patches to systemd-git until we finally removed it there. Given that we had 0 patches so far this year, it'll probably stay that way. Hence, there's no hurry in replacing gudev from systemd with libgudev. It'd be enough to just drop the systemd sub-package and provide a new libgudev package, even if that might not forcefully update the package. However, I see no reason not to bump it, so I'll gladly follow the packager's demands: https://github.com/systemd-devs/libgudev/commit/f6203336e5b1ccf896acc506b54ec895fdae98b4 @Bastien: At your convenience, can you cherry-pick this and do another release? Should have done this right away, sorry!
