After more close look, the feature looks more optional than at first sight. I've dropped the entire check from ebuild and leaned the text in the news announcement. This should do it...
Title: Upgrade to >=sys-fs/udev-210 Author: Samuli Suominen <ssuomi...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2014-02-25 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <sys-fs/udev-210 The options CONFIG_FHANDLE and CONFIG_NET are now required in the kernel. You will be warned of them if they are missing while you upgrade to >=sys-fs/udev-210 by the package manager. See the package's README at /usr/share/doc/udev-210/ for more optional kernel options. The most reliable way of disabling the new network interface scheme is still the kernel parameter "net.ifnames=0" since overriding the 80-net-name-slot.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ no longer works since upstream renamed the file to /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules The actual configuration is at /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link, which you can override in /etc/systemd/network/ So, to clarify, you can override the new .rules file or the .link file in /etc but using the kernel parameter is the most consistent way. Since both the systemd-udevd executable and the network configuration is stored at /lib/systemd, using a too wide INSTALL_MASK would be a mistake.
