Comment (by bdubbs@…):
I don't have a problem with someone doing an upgrade for eudev if they
know the hazards. I really don't think replacing things like binaries or
man pages would be a problem. Where I think problems might arise is in
the configuration. That is, the rules may change. In that case, deleting
all the rules in before upgrading could be appropriate.
I don't recall right now if some packages drop rules into
/lib/udev/rules.d/ or not. If so, that would cause problems. It's also
possible that custom rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ could be affected.
My thought is that there should be a warning that upgrading should only be
done if there is an expressed need that the user needs to be addressed,
not just to update to the latest version.
We do have several versions that have been in the book on anduin:

http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/conglomeration/udev/

And upstream has systemd:

for the case where we were extracting udev from systemd.
