I wouldn't since we don't want every BSP to have to "re-invent" the udev 
wheel.  And there's other bits of userspace where there's a relationship 
between the kernel version (the whole kernel headers version and iirc 
hipox machines thread on oe-devel).

I'm not saying we need to keep every version of udev either, I'm just 
saying we know where there's cutoff points and we should have correct 
and maintained udev versions in the core.
