I don't know whether you've heard, but PackageKit (a hard dependency of
udev as of 185, to allow automatic installation of the appropriate
firmware) no longer supports /usr/portage on its own partition. But
that's ok, because extensive studies have shown that the only possible
reasons for putting /usr/portage on its own partition are historical,
since everyone has an SSD now.
