Comment(by br...@…):
Note that this includes a couple of relevant changes...
First, the mode on the create_floppy_devices program call is now correct
(it matches the MODE="..." set on the main /dev/fd0 device).
But second, all the rules that manage /dev/hd* (required if you use
CONFIG_IDE* in your kernel configuration, or at least I think that's the
right setting) have been yanked. See
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/43151 for the rationale, and note
that apparently "deprecated" means "we don't have to do *ANYTHING*
correctly here anymore", not "this will disappear in a few kernel
releases, once we get the users that *require* it moved". The latter is
what was actually said; the former is what the udev maintainers did.
Sigh.
Anyway, we can add those rules back into a compat file if we decide we
need to. I know libata works quite well for me, but that doesn't count
for much if you're one of the people that has one of the 2 unsupported-by-
libata disk controllers...
