As there are some issues with udev-145-1 that will take time to settle, you could still do this transition. Just update the udev in core manually. In svn, manually apply the 141-5 modifications to repos/core-i686 and repos/core-x86_64 then commit. On gerolde, copy the udev 141-5 packages from /srv/package-cleanup to your staging dir.
