Funtoo restricting udev update for last ~2.5 years. It caused various issues with certain packages, numerous masks, package forks and version restrictions.Tracker created to investigate ability to update to eudev ebuild. Why eudev? First of all, ebuild is better, eudev build system looks good and it's very latest udev code, predictable networking is disabled by default (using old fashioned, wlan*, eth*, ath*). Update will solve:
1. udev fixes itself
2. package restrictions, masked due newer udev requirement
3. hwdb, hardware vendors support, which is not working correct with old udev
4. lvm2 udev USE flag build issue
5. much better desktop support
Testing locally and it works fine without side effects.
