Adding udev to the base profile will make customization much harder for people unwilling to use udev. This is the problem.
To stay on the original track, I was suggesting adding it to the linux profile component, not base. And people who are unwilling to use udev would disable it globally, like people who are unwilling to use pam or ipv6.
But I understand where you're coming from in general-- that we've already achieved a good minimal balance in enabling udev only where it's really needed, and enabling it in linux make.defaults will make it difficult to get back to that state.
So I will just continue to ask for IUSE=+udev where I believe it's very important for sane functionality of a particular package. In other words, I'm no longer pushing for the make.defaults change.
