Like I mentioned in a prior e-mail, the change didn't affect me when it

noticed it when I found Gentoo ships with systemd-udev instead of eudev.
Yep, no plans on changing the default sys-fs/udev to anything else, no
reason to.
To be clear - you are saying that the new default init system for a new
gentoo install is systemd?
When did this happen? I thought that OpenRC was still the default?
Perhaps the next time I need to install Gentoo, I'll find a way to get
eudev on there before even the first proper boot and avoid the problem
altogether.
It's true that sys-fs/eudev restored the *broken* rule_generator from
old sys-fs/udev, you can get it by USE="rule-generator".
But it's lot saner to keep using sys-fs/udev and just write custom rules
to rename interfaces based on MACs to like lan*, internet*
so all in all, currently, using sys-fs/eudev doesn't make sense unless
you are experimenting/developing for it.
The problem with this is, what happens if (or maybe *when*?) the systemd
maintainers make a change that then breaks udev for anything but systemd?
