This is not planned. Keep in mind, that this udev rule has always been 
Debian specific, so if software is actually buggy in that regard, it 
should be fixed in any case.
The best we can do is to file bug reports against affected packages.
Since we are early in the bookworm release cycle, we have plenty of time 
for that. Would you mind filing bug reports if you encounter such issues?
