Hi, having evdev support in GENERIC kernel will advance things like having Wayland compositor (Weston) to be used without re-compilation of the kernel and better support of things like touch-screen input, but the problem is that currently evdev sometimes cause troubles: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D15070 Having troubles in GENERIC kernel is not good... So I myself will be only happy having evdev enabled, but because FreeBSD used in many more non-evdev related applications extra care should be taken in order not to break things for all these fleets of FreeBSD servers...
