But there's not a lot of point as eudev isn't that different to udev

Can you elaborate on what this update was that forced you to go back to
regular udev?
I can't remember what it was now, and it may have been avoidable by
making virtual/udev-206 (or whichever version it was that needed a higher
udev version than eudev could provide). It's moot now as eudev has been
updated and portage is happy again, but it would be a concern if this
happened regularly.
I expect it to happen around every new udev release that causes slight
incompability; the default of the virtual/udev, sys-fs/udev, doesn't
have to wait for the alternative providers.
And thanks for the heads up Samuli.
I always emerge -pvuDN world and look very carefully at the results, and
I also wait at least 2 or 3 days before installing any system critical
updates (has saved me headaches more than once).
Ok, here goes... ;)
