This bug report follows what it's said in this feature request:  FS#13801 

Description:
Well, I like to have some custom cd/dvd symlinks made by the persistent cd/dvd symlinks generator rule of udev. But when the 81-arch.rules is run by udev, those symlinks will be removed.

This behaviour is expected and it's documented by the udev arch readme. But it's wrong because for changing the behaviour, the user must mess with an arch rule file.

What I'm asking is simple:
- Or a simple and not hackish way to disable the cdsymlinks script without messing with arch system rule files. Maybe forcing the script to check a file (cdsymlinks.conf?) in /etc/udev/ for a value of a variable will do the job clean.
- Or just make the cdsymlinks not to remove any previous cd/dvd symlink made by the user.
This task depends upon

Now my point is more clear I think. So if you make the two changes at the same time, I'll don't have any problem.
