I keep seeing this "quote" on the net, is it not accurate?

"Sievers explained that it will still be possible to install udev
independently of systemd. He added that this option will be supported
in the long term because separate builds are required to ensure that
initrds (initial ramdisks), which don't include systemd, work
correctly. Distributions that don't use systemd can continue to build
udev as before, but will have to use the systemd sources."
