3 Maybe it helps to look at the actual dependency in virtual/udev-217:
4
5 RDEPEND="
6 !systemd? ( || ( >=sys-fs/udev-217 >=sys-fs/eudev-2.1.1 ) )
7 systemd? ( >=sys-apps/systemd-217:0 )"
8
9 IMHO, switching the order within the first (i.e. !systemd) USE
10 conditional would make a lot of sense. Why should we default to the
11 systemd udev for users that request USE=-systemd in their flags?
12
13 On a personal note, I'm using eudev on my systems and have never
14 experienced any problems with it. Keep on the good work!
