For your other question, you don't need an initramfs if your /usr is not
split off and drivers for your fs on / and chipset are compiled in. That
will stay true for ages to come (until some joker starts shipping kernel

Right, but that wasn't my question, my question was will I be able to
continue using eudev (or mdev, or whatever)...
Surely that depends on how well-maintained eudev remains in the future?
And is therefore best answered by the package maintainers?
You misunderstand.
I'm concerned about feature/dependency creep, where all of a sudden the
Gentoo Council makes a decision (or is forced into a decision) that
makes it *impossible* for eudev (or any alternative) to work without
systemd.
Or even worse, I actually had a dream (nightmare?) last night about an
email to the list that went something like:
"Announcement: The Gentoo Council, in its infinite wisdom, has decided
to make Fedora Core the official upstream for Gentoo. This is being done
to make all of our lives easier, and so that we can all have GNOME on
the desktop."
