When watch rule is disabled/removed in  udev rules - your udev db becomes 
invalid when i.e. you run  command like  'mkfs' - since the udev db will not 
be updated to list information about newly formatted filesystem.

Of course there are many cases where disabling  watch rule makes sense
(i.e. you export lots of disks to virtual guests) - but unless you are
familiar with udev and you know what you are doing - think twice before disabling.
