Not really, I don't think we support systems without udev anymore, right? And we get away with a lot of these different "options" at compile time, which makes it easier than what Debian has to handle, so perhaps it's not a fair comparison.
I think we support systems with launchd and devd quite well and we'd love to support even some more.
Sure, but that doesn't mean that the packages that are being merged will actually work :)
Only if upstream really wants to break them... And that is the perceived situation, exacerbated by the past experience with a certain audio daemon trying to do too much at the same time.
