There weren't any major overhauls to the install setup this time around,
so I don't *think* so.
I'll verify...
Looks like the scsi_id.config file is no longer installed by default,
though that's not a huge deal...
I don't see anything else when looking through the git commit messages
(and some of the changes). Unless they changed the build-system in a
completely unrelated change (which they've done to other parts of udev
before), we should be fine. INSTALL still matches what we're doing, as
well.

The only use case I can think of is for udev-internal processing: if
they need to attach some info to the event as they're handling it (say,
which worker it's on, or something like that). I don't think these
variables are supposed to be used by rules; I know they can't be used by
external tools. :-)
