If we learn from this experience we find that in time more and more complimentary services will be added and core components will have more and more dependencies. It turns POSIX environments into Windows... You have about 20 processes which does nothing only to make system usable. I don't like this direction and prepare to work hard in order to help avoid reaching this state. Maybe for dekstop environment which already have large number of dependencies one more is valid... It is correct that udev did not make life easy, but it is not so complex and the modifications needed were minor.
