Do you? >=20 The usb_device name. The kernel could call it usb/NNN/NNN if it wanted; instead it chooses to call it usbdevNNN.NNN Things like symlinks are entirely in udev's court, I have no problem with that. All I'm arguing for is that if we're agreeing on standard names for all distributions, we make that a true standard and make the kernel agree with those names -- so the default udev rules don't need any NAME=3D except for things like persistence of enumeration.
