Ok, I found it strange, nothing more ! And, no, I am not dev or package 
maintainer, even if sometime, I would like...

Thanks guys...

Don't sync two times a day and emerge -u world if you don't want updates ;-)
besides the ebuild commit dates are:
udev-160: 12 Jul 2010
udev-161: 24 Aug 2010
udev-162: 12 Sep 2010

So I don't understand why you get more updates the same day.

Still udev ebuild development still lacks some days after udev upstream to 
just test ebuilds and also for time reasons.
