17 Regarding /lib64/udev vs. /lib/udev: I think it is fine for some time.
18 Having some rules only in /lib64/udev when udevd looks info /lib/udev will
19 make only these things break that depend on the extra rules.

21 The main question is: How many systems are affected by this /lib64 is not the
22 same as /lib ?
