I am wondering why so many udev rules assign the uucp group to devices?
In the young days of mail and news UUCP was used to transport messages. These systems used modems to send and receive messages. Therefore people using uucp needed special access rights to the ttys as the dial process caused costs. And this stuff from the last millenium is still in use.
