I'm guessing you have some default USE variables which if removed would contribute to a cleaner system. I just checked the documentation about udisks in the freedesktop site. I didn't manage to understand why it would be useful (my fault, probably) but I understood enough to decide I wouldn't want such stuff in my system. (Of course, the aforementioned fingers are exceedingly sticky. We all have to live with udev, after all...) Regards Jorge Almeida
