That's where I'm stuck on this. Unless you have a solid set of rules,
devices re polled by udev seem to be reordered in assignment. That's a
major complaint I see in the various blog's about udev. Udev
diagnostic tools have improved but there are still some gaps and
people still encounter problems.

Every time something new, like LSB init is introduced, there is a
learning curve.

I see this as a transitional state, not quite right, (according to
convention) not quite wrong (according to function). I believe there
is more that one right way to do things in Linux. Whether or not the
chosen fix conforms with theory is demonstrated over time, assuming
the machine doesn't grind to a halt when the fix (kludge) is applied.
