1 I've finally got my system settled enough to look into teh scary udev upgrade. Especially I have all data dirs off in their own LVM partitions (/home, /encfs, /usr/portage, /var/spool), and a backup of the most recent bootable and runable /, so I can boot back to that if I need to and still get email etc. while working oout what I screwed up.

3 Excluding gcc, llvm, various app-emulation packages, videolibs, etc, most of it looks innocent enough.

45 Is baselayout 2.2 necessary for upgrading udev, or just optional? Could I upgrade this without upgrading udev?

47 =sys-boot/grub-2.00-r3:2
48
49 I'm running grub 1. What I have seen of grub 2 doesn't impress me, and besides, my bootable backup is on a different disk but relies on the grub 1 boot setup, and I'd just as soon not upgrade to grub 2 ever if possible.
