I am staying with  the old udev because I have /usr on a separate 
partition, and have no desire to bugger my system because of the 
machinations of the systemd/udev maintainers.

I would have already migrated to mdev if I were a more capable linux 
admin, but I'm only barely passable.

But as it is, I'm simply avoiding the whole mess unless/until I have to 
do a reinstall from scratch - which may be soon, since I need more disk 
space anyway (just wish I had a decent guide on installing gentoo in a 
vmware esxi server VM)...
