If I'd known udev and its descendants would turn into this kind of mess, I'd have made an inotifywait or dmesg based shellscript to monitor everything and perform the necessary mknod to create a device for it, thereby eliminating a substantial part of the necessity for udev. Other people could have created other shellscripts or simple C programs to do the rest of udev's work. Of course, that's 15 years water under the dam, settled law, so I'm not going to do it.
