If you keep using eudev, and you don't tell anybody about it, then they won't even know. Nobody is keeping anybody from using eudev. They're just not actively doing work to keep it working with changes in the repo. If you stop syncing the repo, or fix those issues yourself, or just avoid the use-cases that have issues, then you can use eudev forever. You could even publish an overlay and accept contributions from others who want to use eudev, so as to share the effort required to do so. You don't need anybody's permission to do so - all you need is a free git repo somewhere to sync from. Being source-based, Gentoo is probably one of the easiest/most-practical distros out there to fork system-level packages on. --=20 Rich
