Manage /etc/udev/rules.d directory

Should the /etc/udev/rules.d directory be purged of non-managed files?

It could have an option, but it feels too invasive to me to do so by default. For example, on my Fedora 36 system:

$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/
70-persistent-ipoib.rules
$ rpm -qf /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-ipoib.rules 
rdma-core-39.0-1.fc36.x86_64

Now the particular file doesn't contain anything and you could argue it should be in /usr/share/doc as an example, but there may be more.

Managing yes, but purging by default should be configurable set to false by default.

I would like to see this feature too but agree is should be false by default.

The only place /etc/udev/rules.d is defined is in https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-systemd/blob/master/manifests/udev/rule.pp#L28. So there is no global static setting for the directory :/
