It still works fine though ;-)

Anyway, udev is IMO not ready to be used in lunar. Too many subsystems
don't have appropriate sysfs entries yet (I think sound for instance).
This is unfortunate, because it seems to be a very nice system. 

Also, 2.6 will need a bit more testing before it can become our default
kernel.
