Important Note:
- Integrating udev in the system is a whole lot of work, has complex dependencies
- and differs a lot from distro to distro. All major distros depend on udev these
- days and the system may not work without a proper installed version. The upstream
- udev project does not support or recommend to replace a distro's udev installation
- with the upstream version. The installation of a unmodified upstream version may
- render your system unusable. Until now, there is no "default" setup or a set of
- "default" rules provided by the upstream udev version.
