No, but it's suggested that /etc will only contain stuff that can be edited by users/admins. But everything will work the same way as before if /lib/udev/rules.d/ is not used. > We on gentoo do use /lib64/udev to be strict on systems using 32 and 64 bit > libraries, so the rules end in /lib64/udev/rules.d if we choose this way. /lib/udev/ is udev's private directory on _every_ system, as LSB defines. There is no single library in /lib/udev/, the translation to /lib64/udev/ is broken in exactly the same way you would introduce /sbin64/udevd. I suggest you fix that, instead of trying to work around the problems it creates.
