Well, the problem with this is that big distro people really don't care much because they already use udev for tuning the IO scheduler. So whatever defaults the kernel is going to pick likely won't be seen by distro customers. Embedded people seem to be driving this effort because they either don't run udev or they feel not all their teams building new products have enough expertise to come up with a proper set of rules...
What's missing in this discussion is a definition of "embedded system". Is that a system like a streaming player for TV channels that neither has a keyboard nor a display or a system that can run multiple apps simultaneously like a smartphone? I think the difference matters because some embedded devices hardly do any background I/O nor load any executable code from storage after boot. So at least for some embedded devices the problem discussed in this e-mail thread does not exist.
