Well I like this idea as I told you ;-)

But I think you mean this way we should deprecate /etc/udev/udev.rules
and split it between multiple files in /etc/udev/rules.d ? I'm ok with
this but we must decide how we will split it. Per device type ? I think
we should think first about all the spells that might need to change
udev rules. We will have then a better idea of what to do.

So, for my part, as you said, cdrom devices should go in a dedicate
file, maybe /etc/udev/rules.d/cdroms ?

Any others ?
