[gentoo-user] systemd and USE="static"

I thought I'd have another look at systemd, so switched profiles, made
sure I had all the kernel options needed and then did an emerge -uN world.

It seems the systemd profile masks the static and static-libs USE flags,
which are needed by crytsetup and lvm for my initramfs, which mounts /
from a LUKS partition. Forcing an unmask of these flags in
/etc/portage/profile did no good because when those packages are built
with USE="static" they require a virtual/udev with matching flags, which
systemd cannot provide.

Is there a way around this or have a I found a reason for not using
systemd that doesn't involve name calling? :-O
