That's nothing urgent for me. No problem to postpone this change until util-linux-ng 2.15 (at end of this year).

I'm already working on vol_id + blkid merge http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=shortlog;h=topic/fsprobe My plan is follow ideas and code from blkid and add a new low-level API for udev.
