I was just going to write everything you did, but you were first :)

Yes, certainly, there is absolutely no need to have multiple udevs in one s=
ystem,
I was talking about foreseeable future, like sbase/ubase were already
adopted.

Mmm, BSD :3

The average user also doesn't use Alpine, isn't it for=C2=A0"power users"?=
=E2=80=8E [0]

All I can say is to compare the code. I've never used mdev before and am no=
t aware of all its
features.

I also don't think that smdev should be provided by the package manager.
(just like the base system)
Why would you remove it, and if you need, go to /usr/src and make uninstall.
Luckily, suckless has always provided uninstall rule for all its software.
