Hello again, Sarah.
I've checked again what I wrote for the versioned recommendation on
udev, and the upstream commit is as attached. As you can see, there's no
documentation update for that. I've also found other packages using that
syntax, while learning a bit more about udev:
,--
| $ egrep '!=.*\|' /etc/udev/rules.d/*

GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"
| /etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-input.rules:ACTION!="add|change",
GOTO="persistent_input_end"

\

GOTO="permissions_end"
`--
So, it looks like more than just ACTION!='foo|bar' is supported, as
expected by the libgphoto2 upstream developers. Maybe some bugs were
then introduced in udev, which might explain why it is no longer
working? Could you please send to the bugreport the output of “udevinfo
-a” on the appropriate device so that we have an idea of what's missing?
Happy celebrations, if any. ;)
