I guess throwing around terms like "system-config-udev" might have
gotten something different across than you meant then (sometimes you
just need to spent the time to type out what you mean if you don't want
people to guess ;-).
A user interface to e.g. assign different serial ports to different
functions are okay. GUI tools to fix broken/outdated udev rules are
maybe a workaround, but not a solution. Such tools would possibly delay
things getting fixed up for other users.
