systemd
systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.

4MLinux uses udev from systemd now, and this true that most of its dependencies (libdbus and so on) are needed to compile udev, but the "ready-made" udev works well without them. Nevertheless, UDEV IS A LOW LEVEL UTILITY, meaning that it should avoid "dependency hell" as much as possible.
Merging udev into systemd was a stupid idea. Why not merge udev into Gnome ? If someone needs a small udev utility he will have to install Gnome first :-)
