remove "all_partitions" option
We can not predict the major/minor of non-existing devices: $ grep . /sys/class/block/sd*/dev /sys/class/block/sda1/dev:259:524288 /sys/class/block/sda2/dev:259:262144 /sys/class/block/sda3/dev:259:786432 /sys/class/block/sda4/dev:259:131072 /sys/class/block/sda/dev:259:0 /sys/class/block/sdb/dev:259:655360 /sys/class/block/sdc/dev:259:393216 If this functionality is still needed for some broken hardware, it needs to be solved with a tool not part of the udev package. Because such option is unreliable and unsafe to use.

+"udevadm trigger" defaults to "change" events now, instead of "add"
events.
+The option "all_partitons" was removed from udev. This should not be
+needed for usual hardware. Udev can not safely make assumptions
+about non-exixting partition major/minor numbers, and therefore no
+longer provide such an unreliable and unsafe option.
+
All "add|change" matches are replaced by "!remove" in the rules and
in the udev logic. All types of events will update possible symlinks
and permissions, only "remove" is handled special now.
