Yes there are new additional udev rules.

The safe timeout one, is auxiliary, and does not affect any other parts of
the system. Also, it looks like it would fail on non-usrmerged systems and
thus needs adjustment.

The creation udev rule, should not affect the state of the raid devices
during raid controller assembly. As this stamp file affects only initial
assembly/creation of raid devices. His is mostly for internal state
tracking / marking device systemd unit as ready.

Clustering support udev rules I cannot comment on. As I am yet to use
clustering support. And our installers do not set these up. Validating, and
correcting (if needed) clustering support is an open task for development
series.
