Hi, (with my usb-modeswitch maintainer hat on)

from the various discussions I have read within kernel, udev and usb-
modeswitch upstreams, usb-modeswitch is now the canonical place for that 
fonctionality: it allows faster adaptation to real-world than having this 
in-kernel.

By the way, latest udev (153-1) upload removes the modem-modeswitch 
functionality to let this up to usb-modeswitch (#577460).

Cheers,
