Hold your horses. The devs will work something out; systemd is not replacing the udev package for all users. For the moment, it's just replacing the udev package for users using systemd. The problem at the moment is a spat between the systemd maintainer and the udev maintainer. They don't see eye to eye about which packages should be providing which files (and where), and there's also a serious miscommunication (and misinterpretation of historical communication) issue between the two of them at the moment. They're trying to get it worked out (via attempting cooperation or via arbitration, whatever is necessary), and things will settle down. In the mean time, if I read the context right, this issue should only affect people who are using systemd. This shouldn't be affecting people who aren't using systemd.
