nops... it doesn't even have the capability to create nodes anymore:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/units/systemd-udevd.service.in?id=edeb68c53f1cdc452016b4c8512586a70b1262e3

I don' t know what you mean by normal device node... but udev now
relies on 2 sources for creating nodes:

1) devtmpfs in the kernel
2) systemd-tmpfiles, that runs on early boot taking the output of
'kmod static-nodes'

It's this second case I'm referring to in the man page, since it
relies on the devname alias that people put in each module.
