At a general level, tools should be ported to 2014 and *actively* look for devices and also support hotplug and dynamic configuration. We added the /dev/$subsys/by-*/ stuff to make legacy apps work better that time, but we should not further extend this today. Tools can still ship and install their own rules, but none of that should be included in the default set installed by systemd.
