That kind of attitude is disappointing. I agree.
What do you mean by "ship eudev"?I thought that eudev was not stable at that date. But, I was wrong: https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-fs/eudev/ChangeLog
eudev entered Gentoo stable (without a subsequent revert) in August and September 2013 (depending on the architecture).
