This patch was applied and I have some questions:

1. Do we really want to keep udev-extaconf breaker?
2. Allow all users? Note that /dev/dri/card0 has root:video as
read/write accessors

I have sent a different patch series [1-2] addressing these issues -
they were not applies for 'better ideas'...
