From my understanding, the dev is not listening. That is another thing that
bothers me. When devs stop listening to users, that causes a problem.
Remember hal? How many people complained early on about the config files?
Lots. I also don't like that a very few people or just one person can make
a decision like this that will have a negative affect on a LOT and I mean a
LOT of users. That is something that needs to be dealt with. What I would
like to see is this, a good stable alternative that works well with a proper
fix and for that to push udev out and render it null. I think that would
serve the dev right. Listen to the people that use it or people will use
something else. The mdev package comes to mind here. Maybe this will push
it to take udevs place. It seems there is enough people that opposes this.
If a few commercial and paying people can help, it may just be the next
better thing.
As I understand it, nothing of udev itself is in /usr, but instead
packages and scripts which plug themselves into udev to be triggered
by various events.
Perhaps the real solution is to circumvent udev and get those other
packages and scripts to not put hotplug-active files under /usr.
Either way, udev is what is the root of it. Udev is calling for
something that is not there. Either udev needs to change or it needs to
require the files to be somewhere other than /usr.
