+udev 154
+========
+Bugfixes.
+
+Udev now gradually starts to pass control over the primary device nodes
+and their names to the kernel, and will in the end only manage the
+permissions of the node, and possibly create additional symlinks.
+As a first step NAME="" will be ignored, and NAME= setings with names
+other than the kernel provided name will result in a logged warning.
+Kernels that don't provide device names, or devtmpfs is not used, will
+still work as they did before, but it is strongly recommended to use
+only the same names for the primary device node as the recent kernel
+provides for all devices.

+Bugfixes.

+"udevadm trigger" defaults to "change" events now instead of "add"
+events. The "udev boot script" might need to add "--action=add" to
+the trigger command if not already there, in case the initial coldplug
+events are expected as "add" events.
+
+The option "all_partitons" was removed from udev. This should not be
+needed for usual hardware. Udev can not safely make assumptions
+about non-existing partition major/minor numbers, and therefore no
+longer provide this unreliable and unsafe option.
+
+The option "ignore_remove" was removed from udev. With devtmpfs
+udev passed control over device nodes to the kernel. This option
+should not be needed, or can not work as advertised. Neither
+udev nor the kernel will remove device nodes which are copied from
+the /lib/udev/devices/ directory.
+
+All "add|change" matches are replaced by "!remove" in the rules and
+in the udev logic. All types of events will update possible symlinks
+and permissions, only "remove" is handled special now.
+
+The modem modeswitch extra was removed and the external usb_modeswitch
+program should be used instead.
+
+New and fixed keymaps.

+The support for the deprecated IDE devices has been removed from the

+The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate
+set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEY,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}. These are
+determined by the new "input_id" prober now. Some devices, such as touchpads,
