It's a recent change in behavior. Please add this, if you think it
should be mentioned.

I guess, I know a bit about both. :)

And devtmpfs, which is mandatory by most major distros now, changed a
bit of udev's logic. Udev is still expected to work without devtmpfs,
but devtmpfs still defines the supported udev features, and some
future version of udev may even require devtmpfs.
