It is a regression of mainline then.
Yeah, I have more reports from people, that with recent kernels, the ieee1394-* links showed up and replaced the scsi-* links, which they say never happended before. We ship these rules for a long time now, so I just guessed, they never really worked before, but as all depends on timing, it's probably not predictable what happens. Regardless of the needed fix for scsi sysfs, we should provide both links, I guess.
Thanks, Kay
