Re:Parallel

One event could trigger the starting of multiple processes/demons which would start in parallel.

Also events would occur asynchronously. That is new events triggering new process startups could occur before other processes have finished starting.

If you had wireless and ethernet cards and udev saw the ethernet card and triggered the network DHCP startup on that udev might then see the wireless adapter and trigger the network start up on it even if the ethernet has only just started initialising. this would leave both network adapters starting in parallel
