Isn't it ugly to re-runn systemd-vconsole-setup straight from an udev rule?
I mean, udev has a tendency to kill long-running RUN processes, and I've seen
systemd-vconsole-setup.service to take >5 seconds on some systems...
Also, these additional systemd-vconsole-setup instances aren't supervised by
systemd...
