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.
