Honestly, I agree with you. I am a udev maintainer myself, and the udev
maintainers did not bring this issue to council. More than that, no one,
that I recall, discussed any ramifications of this vote with any udev
maintainers before bringing it to council.

The ramifications, as I said in my previous email, are not just udev
related (see the section in my previous email about the /usr merge).

Once we start implementing the /usr merge, it will not matter whether
you use udev or not,  you will have to have an initramfs if your /usr is
separate.
