While I understand this argument, there are also users with different needs.

With some hacks it is possible (and sometimes even useful) but perhaps no longer
in Fedora. (I am using Gentoo for these crazy things so I really do not care.)

But separate functions should be in separate packages. Udev handles devices,
systemd handles services. Keeping udev as integral part of systemd package
is IMHO design mistake (not talking about source git, but I am not sure even
there...)

With the same logic you should integrate half of the system utilities into
systemd. :-)

Yes, it is very nice. So just package separately the part which
is redundant when rsyslog is installed and used as system log facility?

Dunno, there are some random Fedora committees to adapt packaging guidelines.

That was just idea, not much clever seems. It really helps nothing, ignore it.
