I ran into the same think. lvm2 also doesn't build against it, which I
think could potentially result in an unbootable system in the right
situation.

I believe that was a configuration problem in the latest hplip ebuild;
the previous version didn't do that. I think udev has been warning
about SYSFS deprecation for 3 years.

I guess it is called "unstable" for good reason sometimes.
The bugs
we encounter, report and sometimes actually solve, will help the
stable users down the road so they don't have the same problems.
New udev-186 breaks pulseaudio
