Well, to be frank, I understand the situation as "the Gentoo council has no real idea what it intends to accomplish with this split, except for alleviating some generic unease with udev, and thus rehashes some semi-remembered old problems which may or may not actually be udev's fault, or be affected by it in any way".
The split-/usr 'problem' is a case in point. The idea to mount /usr from the initramfs, no further changes needed or questions asked, isn't exactly new.

The Gentoo council decreed from on high a little while back that separate /usr without an initramfs would always remain a supported configuration, which is kind of like when New Mexico legislated that Pluto was still a planet. Reality need not apply.
The situation with upstream is getting a bit desperate, but forking is a ridiculous move. It only ensures that we'll always be left behind, playing catch up.
