Agree with both your points.

udev *should* refuse accessing anything under /usr if it's still in the
sysinit phase. After all, that's what the FHS assumed (/usr does not contain
anything required during boot)

IIRC, one of the most vocal designer of the FHS is Red Hat; if the dev of
udev is also Red Hat-related, shouldn't he at least try to follow FHS's
philosophy?
