Agreed. As the debian maintainer of udev I consider *very* important for
users being allowed to specify additional rules which will be merged
with the ones of the default configuration. A trivial example is being
able to add rules with only a SYMLINK statement which will match a
specific device and create an additional symlinks (i.e. not override the
ones already defined in the main configuration file).
