Not to mention at least in the past it has tended to accumulate
orphans.  I was getting tons of warnings on boot-up and discovered
that config protection left a ton of files in there from
who-knows-when.  Granted, this is on a system that has been running
Gentoo for about a decade now (every part in it has changed several
times, but the OS has steadily migrated along).

Now I'm down to 5 files in there, and only one of them is my
local.rules file.  If udev is going to stick stuff in /etc then it
really needs to have better communication when this stuff needs to be
modified/cleaned/etc, and what users are and aren't supposed to touch.
