If I want to undo your new flag, I have to set USE="-udev" globally, and
that clobbers any important per-package defaults that maintainers have set.
I was well aware of that when I prepared this proposal, and it's true of
every USE flag in any profile's make.defaults. I still believe it's the
correct course of action.
