Upstream rejected the request. At the same time, someone pointed out that KDE supports libinput. Russel Stuart in <1468280176.5449.20.ca...@stuart.id.au> told us that LXDE supports libinput as well. I checked the git history of XFCE and also found indication that libinput was supported. I don't know about others DE, but I believe that we're sufficiently covered here with GNOME/KDE/XFCE/LXDE to be able to go ahead with the release of xserver-xorg-input-all dropping the synaptics/evdev driver.
