Hi Mike, Sam

This is the last I saw on the ML regarding eudev - has there been a
change of strategy regarding eudev since?

I note that the default provider for the virtual is systemd-utils[udev],
followed by sys-fs/udev, sys-fs/eudev and finally sys-apps/systemd. 
This contradicts the wiki page which states that sys-fs/udev is the
default (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev).

Is there more comprehensive documentation around about this, and which
should be preferred when?

The commit to un-last-rite this is the only information I can find, and
I don't see major releases since.

    profiles: unmask/un-last-rite eudev
    
    It's now being maintained by a new upstream. I still recommend users
    use sys-fs/udev as sys-fs/eudev has not been rebased on newer
    upstream (yet?) but this allows choice for people who feel
    strongly about this, I suppose.
    
    Boot-tested and e.g. udevadm seems to work correctly with new
    hwdb bits.
    
    Thanks-to: kurly
