This page describes exactly how to invoke the binary by its full path and has each flag detailed. Seems like an open invitation to me. > We design this stuff so that it is nicely integrated and uniform in its > behaviour.

I can respect that naming is an important part of any project, but this doesn't get rid of any of it. `man systemd-udevd.service' still does exactly the same thing. What you're nitpicking here comes down to the names displayed in the header and footer of the docs. > They'll be confused anyway, simply because the thing is called > "systemd-udevd" now, not "udevd" anymore...
