[arch-general] [PATCH] [initscripts] drop custom support for persistent net/cd symlinks

Hi all,

As of the next udev release, /dev/.udev has moved to /dev/.run/udev. So, since we have to update this anyway, I thought this was a good opportunity to review our persistent net/cd rules functionality.

If I understand correctly, udev allready has support for creating persistent net/cd symlinks (that we disable by default), and no other distro does anything beyond that. Furthermore, the udev devs explicitly say that /dev/.udev should only be used by udev itself.

It is therefore not clear to me why we need this at all. The attached patch removes it alltogether.

Any comments?

Cheers,

Tom
