smart functionality was previously part of udisks itself using
dev-libs/libatasmart, but udisks upstream have now farmed it out to
sys-libs/libblockdev.
In 271edaee54 bumping libblockdev, I
made USE=smart use sys-apps/smartmontools and I disabled dev-libs/libatasmart
entirely given it is dead upstream, but in the udisks-2.11.0 release notes,
they say:
> ATA SMART handling has been ported over to libblockdev which now offers
> two plugins, based on libatasmart (default, recommended) and smartmontools (experimental).
I don't know if we want to revisit that decision in libblockdev accordingly
or not, but let's see how this goes.
