Which is why I wrote "semantically sux a bit" (it's another way to say
there's
a FHS violation ...). But my understanding is that we have no choice
considering the path upstream took.
I'd like to know: is it a normal thing to edit these files in
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d
(or, any other file that udev will use and which will be stored in /usr)?
Or should we expect that *never* anyone will touch them (eg: there's never
a real valid reason to edit them)?
