There's one thing about udev still. The version in stable-rc is 103, which 
deprecates hotplug, but it's still missing the necessary edits I've been 
working on (while also busy with work :/). If we choose to postpone the 
hotplug->udev transition for this release, we should downgrade stable-rc's 
udev to the one in the present stable to be sure.

Another option would be to integrate the edits I've made in test (udev 104, 
hotplug, linux), they work well for me. But we'd still need to try them out 
on other boxes than only mine.

I think postponing the transition (using the udev from current stable) would 
be nice because then more users would have a recent enough kernel when the 
new udev is finally integrated.
