The eudev experiment has failed.
* It was false labeling from the start.[*]
* It's barely alive and not keeping up with udev upstream.
* It's effectively unmaintained in Gentoo.
* You don't gain anything from using it instead of udev.
(Nobody does.)
So why should anyone put up the effort to package it?
[*] Take something out of the systemd tarball, reapply every commit,
make tiny changes so it looks different, sell it to the anti-systemd
crowd. Sadly no profit, since open source...
