I... probably don't want USE=udev enabled anywhere. What does it |
| 12 |
actually do? I don't know, and the flag description is useless, and I |
| 13 |
don't have time to read the source code to every package with the flag. |

But, I'm willing to trust the maintainers who have set IUSE="+udev" in |
| 16 |
their ebuilds. |

As an example of how this works out, I have both sys-apps/hwids and |
| 19 |
sys-apps/pciutils built with USE=udev, but media-gfx/gimp built without it. |

I just want to have the option to disable it, without having to maintain |

my own copy of the entire "linux" profile hierarchy. |
