I might only add that if you put: >=sys-fs/udev-181 into /etc/portage/package.mask you will have the present stable udev from *before* those weirdos starting messing it up, forcing systemd to take over udev. And, you won't be required to have an initrd image. (At sys-fs/udev-171-r9 as of Fri Dec 14 09:37:06 CST 2012). And the only USE flag you *need* for that version of udev would be rule_generator. If you don't know that you need another, you probably don't.
