I don't follow how a symlink either /usr/lib/udev/rules.d->/lib/udev/rules.d or the other way around is going to make the transition work smoothly for us. If we support both locations as directories, once all of the packages that still install things in /lib/udev/rules.d give us a way in their upstreams to install the rules under /usr, /lib/udev/rules.d will just naturally disappear from everyone's systems. How is linking /usr/lib/udev/rules.d to /lib/udev/rules.d going to aid in the transition? That seems to be going backward. William
