Comments? That is correct. udev-181 is getting unmasked (removed from /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask), not stabilized (it will remain ~x86/~amd64). For it to be keyworded amd64/x86, I would suspect it will take *at least* a month, probably longer. I would suspect that when it does get stabilized, the needed versions of dracut/genkernel/openrc will get stabilized too.
