udev needs to get fixed regardless. Stop this "we can break stuff" crap. Who maintains udev? Regressions are not acceptable. I'm not going to change the kernel because udev broke, f*ck it. Seriously. More projects need to realize that regressions are totally and utterly unacceptable. The "long term cleaner issues" can be handled separately, but are *not* an excuse to work around clear regressions in core packages. That just encourages those package maintainers to be shit maintainers. Just fix udev, which had a regression. And stop blaming the kernel for user space breakage! Tying these kinds of things together ("udev broke, so now we need to change the kernel") is *wrong*. It's totally unacceptable to tie the two together that way.
