Ah, ok... but as for the rest... I should be able to safely upgrade

From what I know (no LVM experience here), if you had it working with
171, it will work with a newer udev. There were no changes regarding how
stuff from /usr is used between 171 and the newer udevs.
Well, there were 'big scary warnings'(tm) a while back that screamed of
major breakage with the newer udevs for those poor lost souls who had
/usr on a separate partiton (lvm managed or not), then, at some later
point, I guess because of the 'wailing and gnashing of teeth'(tm), the
devs relented and changed things so that a separate /usr was supported
except under certain specific circumstances... but since I'm not a
programmer, I didn't (and still don't) understand most of it, hence my
asking for confirmation here...
My system is fairly simple, all local storage, with only /usr, /var and
/home on separate lvm managed partitions (root is *not* on lvm)...
So, I'm here asking if anyone who had waited (masked everything above
171) has unmasked it and updated since, and whether or not they had any
problems booting afterwards...
Thanks,
