If you want to fix the corner cases, you are welcome to. The current issues are no Fedora specific in any way. Your favor distro has it too. As has been pointed out, systemd is merely the messenger.

Last summer it was a filesystem deadlock. Hope you won't face it now :)

At least not the "udev under /usr" part. The thing is,
- I actually run it with separate /usr and see no problems;
- nothing bothers me about a non-issue for no reason.

It's the messenger which was instructed to, well, lie.

And the instructor seems to have a stance that dumping that all on a user is more sane than going after those who are ignorant enough to introduce that crap in the first place (remember RH#534047?).

Now that's weird. I wouldn't waste time on Mr. Hughes but Lennart is, or at least was for many years (judging as a packager), much different.
