If this is so important, why, after so many many months of freeze, no Xen
users found this and submited a bug report? (Now its #413601, filed 24 days
ago)

I disagree. Not only because the bug is not RC, but because you could say the
same for users running other virtualization technologies (UML? Vmware?) with
similar behaviours. 

I'm in favor of adding a note in the Release Notes but I think we should not
delay the release (*again*) by modifying such a critical element as udev
right now.
