CarouselView state of the union?

What is the status of the CarouselView component? Here is what I think I know:

1. Microsoft created CarouselPage but has deprecated it since it is not flexible since it is a Page and can't be used in a ContentPage
2. Microsoft created CarouselView within Xamarin.Forms repo but it was too buggy so they moved it to its own repo
3. Microsoft's CarouselView repo has been stagnant for 2 years
4. alexrainman made his own which Microsoft like better so the plan was to incorporate his into the official Xamarin.Forms repo as the official CarouselView control
5. alexrainman's CarouselView repo has been stagnant for 7 months
6. I do not see alexrainman's CarouselView merged into Xamarin.Forms repo
7. I see several bugs within alexrainman's CarouselView and I have even submitted a pull request for one of them

What CarouselView component should I use? Should I try Telerik's RadSlideView or SyncFusion's SfCarousel instead??
