The only affect I see this will have is that an installed linux-image meta
package will be updated. That might get a new kernel installed or not.

But how does that change anything for the system? It does not mean the
new kernel will be used at all. It does not mean older kernel images
will be removed. It does not change the kernel the system is currently
running. It in no way means udev will actually work.

This really reminds me of the Windows world: You have moved your
mouse. This change will only take affect after a reboot. Reboot now?

When will you (meaning upstream) finally stabilize the udev api or allow
for transitions?
