Thomas, we have agreed to no longer discuss this topic anymore until the
technical committee has made a decision, haven't we?
And, as for your statement, it's incorrect. systemd (and udevd) have
always shipped their "factory" unit files in /usr or /lib and everything
that you customize is read from /etc/systemd and /etc/udevd,
respectively and has precedence over the shipped unit or rules
files. This is a common practice used by many packages,
So there is nothing violating the policy and the information you had
was simply incorrect.
In any case, please let's stop here and let the committee do their
work. We've had enough discussion already.
Cheers and Happy Holidays!
Adrian
