What is the policy for Udev rules in ArchLinux?
There are 2 places where udev rules can be placed, /lib/udev/rules.d/ and /etc/udev/rules.d/. Now, I think the /lib/ directory should be only for the rules coming from upstream udev, and the /etc/ directory is for rules coming from ArchLinux packages.
If this is the policy everyone agrees on - and as far as I remember, udev devs recommends it too - maybe namcap can check that too?
ps. the KVM package now has rules in /lib/ , so I'll open a bug report if that's not supposed to be like that. Normally udev rules should go to /lib that the user can override them with /etc rule file.
