Update on DeviceKit

[Martin Pitt]

Hello,

first, thanks David for this interesting summary and read. It is
most helpful to coordinate things downstream.

One thing that isn't clear to me after your summary is what happens
with udev? After all, udev already does (a) and (b), and a subset of
(c). Would DK entirely replace udev, and would DK take over /dev
maintenance and mknod'ing? Or does it basically provide a dbusified
interface to udev, which would be the actual source of device change
notifications (as hal is today) and storage of arbitrary properties
(which would need to be added to udev)?

Sorry for the unconstructive comment, but: AWESOME!

Thanks,

Martin
