An alternative would be to provide separate virtual/libudev

USE=hwdb should be reviewed:
<udev-180 used to have ./configure switch for --enable/--disable-hwdb
>udev-180 was bumped without taking care of the switch, and the ebuild
got QA warning
then it was fixed for something else, and the `use_enable` was dropped
to supress the warning
and then hwids was made into a separate package
so knowing all that, I would simply kill USE=hwdb and always pull in the
package, as it used to be for avoiding pulling in the actual
pciutils/usbutils with their dependencies, but is not worth for the
separate hwids package anymore
What are you thoughts?
