In the bright light of day I realize that this post is not as off-topic for this thread as it appears. This is all of a piece. The udev maintainer insists that everyone else adapt to udev's demands: before now, it has been users, sysadmins, and userspace who must adapt, but now is is pushing its demands in the other direction as well: this thread is the result.
