There are more tools than just udev which fail to work on various kernel
configurations and versions, though granted udev might be one of the
most "deeply related" ones. Shipping a matching set isn't the kernel's
job, that's the point of formal distributions :-). Maybe your real beef
is with udev documentation which should give you info regarding what
udev/kernel pairings should work?
