Perhaps you're remembering this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd#GNOME_integration?

4. udev and dbus are forced dependencies. In fact, udev merged with systemd a long time ago5. The integration of the device node manager, which was once a part of the Linux kernel, is not a decision that is to be taken lightly. The political implications of it are high, and it makes a lot of packages dependent on udev, in turn dependent on systemd, despite the existence of forks, such as eudev. Starting with systemd-209, the developers now have their own, non-standard and sparsely documented sd-bus API that replaces much of libdbus's job, and further decreases transparency. Further, they intend to migrate udev to this new transport, replacing Netlink and thus making udev a systemd-only daemon6. The effects of this move are profound.
