Looks good, but someone requested it to be simplified. So how about in
the style of simple.wikipedia.org:

systemd and udev have been merged upstream. We will still ship them in
separate packages. Howeer, in order to make things easier for
ourselves udev will now be part of a package called systemd-tools.
This package also contains other stand-alone tools that can be used
without systemd itself.

Please replace udev with systemd-tools when asked.

If you upgrade the linux package at the same time you will likely get
an error message when the initramfs is generated. If so, you need to
rerun 'mkinitcpio -p linux' to make sure that a bootable initramfs is
created for the new kernel.
