For those of us who don't do this full time, is there an overview of all 
the udev/mdev/sysfs/foo/bar changes going on?

I understand the need for a robust and intelligent device management

Linux stuff has made big progress over the competition. When things sit and don't start right away, we have a watch, and those poor guys have to settle for an hourglass.
