Ah, I missed those. I guess they could be done in a separate commit,
I'll try to remember.

My guess at a rationale (I agree that it would be nice to put that in
the change log): the user-facing interface to udev is udevadm, not
udevd. A user should never need to call it, so it should not be in
PATH. This is similar to how other daemons are stored in libexecdir
and not in bindir (upower/udisks). Sounds fine by me.
