Regarding /lib64/udev vs. /lib/udev: I think it is fine for some time.
Having some rules only in /lib64/udev when udevd looks info /lib/udev will 
make only these things break that depend on the extra rules.

The main question is: How many systems are affected by this /lib64 is not the 
same as /lib ?
