He probably means all the elogs and ewarns in there - that ebuild is
littered with the things. View the ebuild in less and search on
"equire", you'll see what I mean.

"!<sys-fs/udev-133" does indeed mean the ebuild requires udev that is
not less than 133. or put another way, it wants udev version 133 or
higher.
