         * "journalctl --force" may now be used to force regeneration
           of an FSS key.
 
-        * Device ACLs may now be applied to "dead" devices nodes too,
-          i.e. device nodes that are created based on kernel module
-          information of not yet loaded kernel modules.
+        * Creation of "dead" device nodes has been moved from udev
+          into kmod and tmpfiles. Previously, udev would read the kmod
+          databases to pre-generate dead device nodes based on meta
+          information contained in kernel modules, so that these would
+          be auto-loaded on access rather then at boot. As this
+          doesn't really have much to do with the exposing actual
+          kernel devices to userspace this has always been slightly
+          alien in the udev codebase. Following the new scheme kmod
+          will now generate a runtime snippet for tmpfiles from the
+          module meta information and it now is tmpfiles' job to the
+          create the nodes. This also allows overriding access and
+          other parameters for the nodes using the usual tmpfiles
+          facilities. As side effect this allows us to remove the
+          CAP_SYS_MKNOD capability bit from udevd entirely.
+
+        * logind's device ACLs may now be applied to these "dead"
+          devices nodes too, thus finally allowing managed access to
+          devices such as /dev/snd/sequencer whithout loading the
+          backing module right-away.
 
         * A new RPM macro has been added that may be used to apply
           tmpfiles configuration during package installation.
