This refers to the previously mentioned URL
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/62973:
"These extras are:
[...]
* gudev: glib/gobject support for libudev"
Additionally, further down the thread:
"This is the interface almost everything is going to turn to with GNOME
2.28 (via DeviceKit-power and DeviceKit-disks in most cases). By the
time GNOME 2.30 and 3.0 are released, (theoretically) nothing will use
HAL."
and
"all current DeviceKit-{power,disks} versions *need* gudev."
And that is usually about the usage of dbus.
