Futhermore predictable network interface names work as designed, not a

Stop spreading FUD.
Looking forward to lastrite sys-fs/eudev just like
sys-apps/module-init-tools already was removed as unnecessary later on.
So your real agenda is to kill eudev? Maybe it is you that is spreading
FUD instead of others. Like others have said, udev was going to cause
issues, eudev has yet to cause any.
Yes, absolutely sys-fs/eudev should be punted from tree since it doesn't
bring in anything useful, and it reintroduced old bugs from old version
of udev, as well as adds confusing to users.
And no, sys-fs/udev doesn't have issues, in fact, less than what
sys-fs/eudev has.
Like said earlier, the bugs assigned to udev-bugs@g.o apply also to
sys-fs/eudev and they have even more in their github ticketing system.
And sys-fs/udev maintainers have to constantly monitor sys-fs/eudev so
it doesn't fall too much behind, which adds double work unnecessarily.
They don't keep it up-to-date on their own without prodding.
Really, this is how it has went right from the start and the double work
and user confusion needs to stop.
