It was always 'add' which was suggested. It was the default action,
but it was changed to 'change' because 'add' must not be used anywhere
else than once after bootup.

Triggering 'change' has some valid use cases, not many though, and
most of them are workarounds for broken things.

Settle is only needed to block until broken subsystems catch up with
reality during bootup, and with reality how hotplug systems work
today. It is not pulled-in for systems which do not run broken or
legacy tools.

Yes, that changed May 2010 with udev 154.
