I really disagree this has anything to do with RedHat.  Redhat happen
to just employ the majority of the kernel developer which is something
to be glad about, not something to whine about. Really, if most of the
other big vendors like google could invest on the kernel like Redhat,
Linux would be even better

The consequence of having most of the kernel dev as RedHat employees
is that people start feeling like Redhat control how the kernel
development evolve.  This can not be correct, most of the kernel
developers are top rate C programmers and can not be controlled like a
college school kids. So, despite Redhat being their employer, how udev
development evolve has more to do with the kernel developers taste
than Redhat influence.  Which mean, it would not matter if they were
employed by Google or IBM for that matter.
