Thanks to you and Alex for your continued patience with me on this, and for your answers so far. Now, with all due respect to Jim's work, why would LFS consider doing a bunch of patching and such when it is just a guess if this is what is going to be coming down the pipe in just a couple of weeks with these new versions you mention?
The need for custom rules and custom initscript will always be there. We already tried putting our rules and initscript in the upstream package, and there was a problem updating them there. So somebody (maybe myself, can't recollect now) asked to drop LFS-related files from the official udev releases.
What information can I read, or how can I learn, so that I can be assured that what Jim is doing is the same direction that the kernel and udev devs are going to do?
Jim just copies the OpenSUSE package (created with the kelp from Kay Sievers, the current maintainer of udev) and does this even too thoroughly :)
Jim's rules do look distro-ish, but let's not oversimplify things. -- Alexander E.
