I tend to agree.

I found changing udev to latest version requires (at least, more 
certainly to come) newer linux-headers, adding /run, make changes in our 
handling of networking interfaces since persistent net devices are gone. 
Our initramfs still does not properly boot after all that fixed.
So I'd be quite happy to stick with "older" udev version, and save all 
those changes to a later day.
