7 USE=hwdb should be reviewed:

9 <udev-180 used to have ./configure switch for --enable/--disable-hwdb
10 >udev-180 was bumped without taking care of the switch, and the ebuild
11 got QA warning
12 then it was fixed for something else, and the `use_enable` was dropped
13 to supress the warning
14 and then hwids was made into a separate package
15
16 so knowing all that, I would simply kill USE=hwdb and always pull in the
17 package, as it used to be for avoiding pulling in the actual
18 pciutils/usbutils with their dependencies, but is not worth for the
19 separate hwids package anymore
