It hasn't stopped, is just that the devs don't exactly know how to
continue. In particular, with glibc and all of the toolchain packages,
there is a lot of historical cruft in the ebuilds and associated
eclasses. The devs are discussing how to move on forward with this;
the issue of /etc/init.d/functions.sh is secondary or even tertiary to
this. Check [1] for an example thread of the kind of discussion
happening.

I've been using my own functions.sh file for years. At its core, is
basically a cosmetic issue; functions.sh never provided nothing more
than a few shell functions to print pretty messages on the console.

Regards.
