Your distro, your rules. Just don't expect a lot of excitement from

The book says:
"Should I install XXX in /usr or /usr/local?
This is a question without an obvious answer for an LFS based system."
It also says: "All of the BLFS instructions install programs in /usr with
optional instructions to install into /opt for some specific packages."
As others sometimes say, you are free to change anything, but if things break,
you get to keep the pieces.
Actually I've been toying with the idea of using a custom script to
make a series of mknod commands to add things I need at boot. Then I
can skip udev completely. In the final analysis, what does it add for
us? About the only thing I can think of that affects most users is
that it may change some permissions in /dev.
I'd say it adds compatibility, if everybody else keeps using it. If we
were to go that way, and everybody else stayed with udev, at what point
do we become incompatible?
You misunderstood what I meant. I probably misstated it. I wasn't saying to put
that in the in the book. I was say that I was considering it for my own
personal system(s).
