Well, it appears that one version is stable:

root@fireball / # equery list -p eudev
 * Searching for eudev ...
[-P-] [  ] sys-fs/eudev-0:0
[-P-] [ ~] sys-fs/eudev-1_beta1-r1:0
[-P-] [ -] sys-fs/eudev-9999:0
root@fireball / #

The first one is not keyworded or masked. 

You are right, I don't like the init fix because when I used Mandrake,
it caused me all sorts of problems.  That and the upgrade process for
Mandrake is the reason I switched to Gentoo.  If eudev is ready, then so
am I.
