Yes, you would be breaking existing users. Starting with anybody with static
/dev. Or a debian userland, for that matter. Any systemd-free setup,
actually.
Changing device number assignments is not to be done lightly, whether
they should've been set that way back then or not.
As for Lennart's opinion... *shrug* He's free to do whatever he wants
in systemd. It does not translate into having any kind of control over
the kernel.
