9 A reasonable question and I don't know the answer, but you can get
10 that file back by re-emerging your existing version of udev first.
11 You can always remove it later after everything is working okay,
12 which is what I did.

39 Yes -- if you still have any files in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d you should
40 re-emerge those packages so they are re-installed in /lib/udev/rules.d
41 before rebooting. At least, I know that's what I should have done :)
