I am not sure this is possible, but if it is...

Would you consider making the name of any symlinks to be added to
a device available in the environment (e.g. a :-separated list in
$SYMLINKS), when the /dev/dev.d hooks are called?

This would allow me to write a hook for permissions.d, making it
optional and still supporting all it should be able to do.

Thanks,

"with sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. however, this is not
 necessarily a good idea. it is hard to be sure where they are going
 to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
 overhead."
