I'm not sure if you are asking me or Kay, but here is what we are running into. The default configuration of udev-186 installs its rules in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d. When users upgrade to this udev, they will still have packages on their system that install rules in /lib/udev/rules.d. Udev needs to keep this directory as a place for rules for a while for that reason. With the /usr merge coming, I'm thinking that packages that install rules in /lib/udev/rules.d will have to be fixed to install them in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d eventually, but until then, we should retain support in udev to read from both places. Thoughts? William
