No one is telling anyone not to use it. The question has been asked "why use it"
to ascertain reasons for keeping it in ::gentoo. Something not being in
::gentoo isn't a decree to not use it, it's a statement that it's a
pain to keep maintained
in portage for an entire user base.
If it was simply ordering/bullying people into not using it, the
advice to form a repo or
talk to guru or simply keep it in your own overlay wouldn't have been given.
There's a huge difference between "suitable for a niche use case" and "suitable
for the entire Gentoo user base should they wish to make use of it". The latter
is where eudev had deteriorated for some time, again this current libgudev issue
being the latest example rather than the only one.
