We just succesfully converted ~300 ebuilds in tree without revision
bumps from virtual/udev[gudev,introspection,static-libs]
to virtual/libudev and virtual/libgudev
Tested it on multiple boxes, went fine. Nobody has filed bugs at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/, nobody has filed a single forums post,
nobody has said anything at #gentoo, Freenode
Only one person said he had to manually build 2 GNOME related packages,
simple-scan and something else

So, broken? Far from it. More like essential feature.

People have just listed some known races dynamic deps have, and I take
those races anyday over an regression that causes
endless rebuilding...
