I'm personally nervous about making a change to the *standard* udev rules that hasn't been confirmed with the kernel maintainer of that subsystem, and tested properly. Remember, these rules are used by all subscribing distros not just Ubuntu. If there's a problem with them, or with the kernel, we should have a much wider discussion net than just a bug that's fast-tracked into an Ubuntu SRU.
