Can't we get a smoother upgrade path?
Not really. We could patch all things using kmod (udev and kmod's tools) to look in both /usr/lib as well as /lib, but that's ugly and doesn't really do us any good. We could make this rebuild coincide with the glibc rebuild to get rid of /lib, but you can't install glibc with /lib as a symlink until /lib/modules doesn't exist. The only way /lib/modules doesn't exist is if people with custom kernels rebuild them into /usr/lib/modules. d
