Sorry, but no.

We name all the service man pages after the service name, since that is
how people will primarily come in contact with it (i.e. they'll do
"systemctl start systemd-udevd.service", but never run
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd directly).

We design this stuff so that it is nicely integrated and uniform in its
behaviour. We'll not depart from that because people who don't use
systemd might be confused. 

They'll be confused anyway, simply because the thing is called
"systemd-udevd" now, not "udevd" anymore...

Sorry,

Lennart
