OK, so I've known about this from the list for some time, but what is the 
status with regard to udev/systemd (has a bug/issue been filed, results, 
link?), and what are the alternatives, both for upstream, and for a dev, 
either trying to be proactive, or currently facing a refusal to boot due 
to the issue?

IOW, I run btrfs raid1 on /, setup before the udev rule I believe as it 
worked back then, and I've known about the issue but haven't followed it 
closely enough to know what I should do if faced with a dead device, or 
what the current status is on alternatives to fix the problem longer 
term, either locally (does simply disabling the rule work?) or upstream, 
and what the alternatives might be along with the reasons this is still 
shipping instead.  And I'm asking in ordered to try to remedy that. =:^)
