At today's FESCo meeting[1], we raised several questions that we would like to have answered about this change. 1) Have the GNOME, Anaconda/Blivet and Cockpit folks agreed to replacing Udisks2? 2) Is it expected to be a complete cutover (where we drop Udisks2 from the default install and/or from the distro entirelyudisks upstream is inactive and has recently expressed some interest in allowing the storaged developers to take over maintenance of udisks going forward. It would be better to first try merging the storaged changes into udisks instead; that way, we share the same code across all distros, without having to evangelize storaged vs. udisks.
With respect, the reason storaged exists is because Udisks2 upstream refused to accept patches to support LVM. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to merge them back together, but the fork happened because upstream was obstinate.
To the best of my knowledge (Tomas Smetana can correct me), storaged is a proper superset (and has a more encompassing name), so my suggestion would be to just make storaged the official upstream and migrate away from the older Udisks2. (With a plan to deprecate the org.freedesktop.Udisks2 interface in 2-3 years in favor of the org.storaged.Storaged interface).
