+Now the udev daemon itself, does on startup:
+  - copy the content of /lib/udev/devices to /dev
+  - create the standard symlinks like /dev/std{in,out,err},
+    /dev/core, /dev/fd, ...
+  - use static node information provided by kernel modules
+    and creates these nodes to allow module on-demand loading
+  - possibly apply permissions to all ststic nodes from udev
+    rules which are annotated to match a static node
+
+The default mode for a device node is 0600 now to match the kernel
+created devtmpfs defaults. If GROUP= is specified and no MODE= is
+given the default will be 0660.

+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.
