As of Udev-149, several rules in 55-lfs.rules are either no longer
supported, or no longer needed. The list I know of (from #2525):
* create_floppy_devices is now correct upstream; the override we have is
no longer required
* /dev/hd* rules are now gone. Looks like this is benign for our config
-- users that need it might complain, but we don't need to change anything
yet.
* OPTIONS+="ignore_device" is no longer supported, so we should kill the
NAME=="card*" and NAME=="dm-*" rules. Not sure what effect this removal
has on DRM, but it's good for device-mapper, as long as you use a new-
enough version, and build its udev integration.
Also, we need to re-audit our rules and ensure we aren't duplicating
upstream stuff again. (I suspect the ALSA rules may not be needed, since
I've heard several comments on linux-hotplug about never using NAME="xxx",
ever. Either the kernel is now providing the correct name, or the
comments I heard are wrong. :-) )
(Marking as minor-severity/low-priority since the current book is reported
to boot, at least.)
