9 No, they wouldn't be; that is a good reason to question the value of the
10 eclass itself. Maybe the correct way to do this is to forget the eclass
11 and just file bugs against packages that break having them move their
12 rules to the new location and set a dependency on the newer udev.

14 This would have to be a rev bump for the broken packages.
