eudev has every commit scrutinized by people who care about using it on Gentoo. systemd-udev does not. Consequently, eudev has avoided the system boot breaking regressions that prompted its creation. That is a good reason to make it the new default. If it fails to fulfill its duties, then this could be revisited, but that should be unlikely.

I think if someone could enumerate those specific breakages and present it as evidence, that could get more people on board for this change. Moreso than just "upstream doesn't care about us" or "eventually split udev will be impossible".
