I think it is reasonable to require libudev in 2021, so I have applied
this. However if someone feels there is a reason to not have this build
requirement, I will also accept a patch to make this dependency optional.

Hi Jes,

If community agrees for adding this dependency, I think that is a good
time to drop all legacy code for handling cases if udev is not available.
This code is dead, we cannot compile mdadm without libudev.

Is udev part of systemd? Are there alternate implementations for the
anti-systemd-holdouts? Iirc you don't need systemd itself to have udev,
but it might provoke a few screams ...

My current (gentoo) system is OpenRC, but that's still on KDE4 and
hasn't been updated in a couple of years (don't ask why). My new system
is currently being built and is gentoo/systemd, but it's clear the
anti-systemd sentiment is still strong ...

Cheers,
Wol
