Right, but what I meant was that whatever we do, /etc/udev/udev.conf should
still point to some default rules so that users (and some weird applications)
used to using it won't freak out. :)

Of course. :) Default to not or do? Do would ensure the device works, but might
annoy a few. I say default to a sane "working" device (so install the rule by
default).
