Well, that was about as uneventful as it gets.

emerge -C udev

emerge -1 eudev

etc-update, accepted changes

/etc/init.d/udev restart

Done...

Thanks very much to all who replied to ease my worried mind (especially 
Neil). :)


I added a forum thread about this, just for closure:

Glad it went well.  If you hadn't asked, it could have been a disaster.

Exactly... ;)

Also, to correct the above - I did do one other thing, but didn't see it 
until I went to emerge something else...


When I emerged another app after updating udev, after the successful 
emerge there was a warning about some preserved libs fro the old udev, 
and it told me to (and so I did):


emerge @preserved-rebuild

to rebuild lvm2...

Thanks again... :) I'm just about done updating everything else that had 
gotten backed up by my holding off on doing anything about udev...
