That is exactly my point. There are people in these distros who see
systemd as a kitchen sink they don't want. However, udev is more like
coreutils, which they need.

Again you make my point for me. There are folks who see systemd as
bleeding edge and are not comfortable running it, but they still need
udev.
 
 Define how this forces upstream to break the build. The default state
 of my patches is to leave things as they are unless you mess with the
 two added configure switches. I do not see how this breaks anything.

Why do you hate these patches so much? Like I said, I made sure not to
change the default state, so if you don't mess with the configure
switches you don't change anything.
