Details
Now that xf86-input-libinput is in [testing], we will be
able to use it for mouse/keyboard/touchpad/etc without
needing xf86-input-evdev to be installed. Please make the
dependency optional or remove it.

Changing the dependency on xf86-input-evdev is planned.....
xf86-input-libinput is meant for libinput testing, can't see why
we would need to replace xf86-input-evdev with that.
I haven't asked to replace, but just to remove the unneeded
dependency for people who only want to use libinput.
Is there anything stopping this from happening?
We are waiting for the next major xorg-server release
I also want to see this happening. I wanted to try out Libinput
and replace evdev with it but evdev is currently a
hard-dependency.
Now that xf86-input-evdev is shipping its own config file and that
you removed it from xorg-server, can the dependency be removed? or
is it still waiting for xorg 1.18?
Yes, it's planned for xorg 1.18
