Ohey, I've opened a bug at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573922
The idea here is to change the order of the providers of virtual/udev. For existing installs this has zero impact. For stage3 this would mean that eudev is pulled in instead of udev. The rationale behind this is: * eudev is an in-house fork, and there's more than a dozen distros already using it by default that are not us. Which is a little bit weird ... * Both udev and eudev have pretty much feature parity, so there won't be any user-visible changes * udev upstream strongly discourages standalone udev (without systemd) since at least 2012 (see for example: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-June/005516.html https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/3/618 ) So it'd be (1) following upstreams recommendations and (2) dogfooding our own tools. I don't see any downsides to this :)
