typical news items are in the format "<packages> no longer/now do
<thing>. [<thing> is <description of <thing>>.] if you need <thing>, do
<steps>. if you do not need <thing>, do <steps>."

sys-fs/udev-217 and sys-fs/eudev-2.1 no longer provide a userspace
firmware loader. If you require firmware loading support, you must use
kernel 3.7 or greater with CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n. No action is
required if none of your kernel modules need firmware. See [1] for more
information on the upgrade.
