I picked this paragraph to quote, but this is more of an overall |

response to your email. |

Gentoo is about choice, but that doesn't mean that every developer has |
| 11 |
to support every possible choice on every package. |

Eudev not working with gnome is not a reason to hold back either |
| 14 |
project. Not every option in Gentoo has to be compatible with every |
| 15 |
other option. |

Eudev is welcome to stay even if its developers are its only users. |

I do agree in general that systemd seems pretty likely to take over, |
| 20 |
but that doesn't mean that those who aren't running big desktop |
| 21 |
environments can't make use of the alternatives, or that providing |
| 22 |
alternatives is bad. I doubt you'll ever get Gnome 3.8 running on |
| 23 |
Prefix either. :) |
