It was designed as framework for multiple services, however it is configured
only for one service now and sad to say I don't know about any other common
service it could be used for.

I am missing filter functionality. e.g. if I want to see only udev events with
ACTION=add or SUBSYSTEM=bluetooth ...

Benefit should be for running system. Service need not run whole time but only
in case when hardware is present or switched on and user need not to care about
it.
