17 THX for your answer.

19 That's also what I normally do in such a case but I was not sure if
20 the systems keeps running when I remove udev. I will make a backup
21 before I remove udev. Then I should be on the safe side.
22
23 But I wonder why portage wanna change udev to eudev on my system. It
24 seems that this is not the case for everyone else. I'm using a stable
25 hardened gentoo system and did not change USE flags or other settings.
26 Just started my regular update process.

28 @R0b0t1: THX also for your answer.
