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.
