Change your udev rules all you want.  Nobody cares.

The proposal had abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do with taking away "choice" (ugh, that word
is like poison now thanks to people like you).  It's about distributions shipping a standard
set of rules that comes with the udev package so that you, the user, can exercise your
"choice" and install third-party packages that rely on udev without yourself having to
manually integrate said package's rules into some arbitrary set of unknown udev rules shipped
by your distribution.

This proposal makes it EASIER for a user like you to customize your distribution by making it
easier to install and change software.
