RUN
...
Starting daemons or other long running processes is not appropriate for udev; the forked processes, detached or not, will be unconditionally killed after the event handling has finished.

Uh oh, I have accidentally published the wrong udev rule. The one I have used was spawning serialjs process with systemd-run. It technically worked, yes, despite being an ugly and defective solution. I am going to add systemd service to repo when I have any USB device emulating COM port to actually debug it.

Fix wrong udev rule (better described at #7)
4183d22 
Starting serialjs with systemd-run ensures it wouldn't be killed by udev
after a short time.
However, this solution makes it impossible to handle multiple gamepads
and boards at the same time since we are killing all serialjs instances
before spawning one. This is a temporary solution and I will fix it
later as described in #7.
