Actually, a guy forked it and announced it on Gentoo's forums; the distro itself currently has nothing to do with it, although as Gentoo is planning on using OpenRC over systemd any news about a udev fork is interesting to them [2]. I'm not sure I'd call the less than one page of discussion "legit" though - it looks to me like a little bit of building discussion and a lot of the same crap that's been infecting our own mailing list (plus consus' "advantages" are suspect - just going on the first one, a separate /usr not mounted in initramfs has been broken since long before systemd-udev, and in my quick look at commits I don't really see anything they've added that would change that esp. since it's not just udev that's the issue. If Gentoo devs get on board it might go somewhere, but until then I'm not that confident.)
