udev/eudev has nothing to do with it. It's the init systems (as in
both systemd and OpenRC) the ones that are pushing/have pushed for
dropping support for it. In Gentoo, the move is being championed by
William Hubs:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/2946
He's the OpenRC maintainer. NOBODY who has actually worked on the
problem wants to support a separate /usr without an initramfs, because
it makes no sense.
So it doesn't matter if you use udev, eudev, mdev or even a static
/dev directory; no init system wants to support a separate /usr
without an initramfs.
And for a good reason: is braindead.
Regards.
