At least no official I know of. But that's why I'd call it "delete
persistent infos" feature so it's possible to drop evms.conf,
scsi_id.config, lvm/lvm.conf etc. as well on request through the
blacklist file. And of course support adding personal udev
configuration files to the blacklist would be another benefit.

It would be even more perfect if users could enable the blacklist
feature as well via a bootoption (like "nopersistentfiles" or so)
just on request.

JFTR: You just have to ACK the idea, it's fine for me to implement
the according code on my own and provide it to you.
