After many years does EEVEE finally support Particle Info? If not then why/when?

I am trying to make decent looking particle effects in EEVEE, but without Particle Info I can’t make particles fade out so they all just blink.

When can we expect EEVEE engine to support Particle Info?

It has been many years now, is there some kind of major engineering challange preventing this from being implemented? If not a huge challenge then why is Particle Info not part of Blender EEVEE???

This is the number one reason I am not able to use EEVEE in 99% of my projects.

Cycles is way too heavy to use just for Particle Info, I can’t imagine it being very difficult to add Particle Info to EEVEE engine. Maybe there are other reasons they are not adding this? Laziness possibly?

Reviving this thread, I’m also puzzled as to why it’s something that isn’t available in eevee - is this slated to be implemented during the Eevee Next / particles overhaul?

Particles as we know them won’t be in Eevee Next or Blender at all, fairly soon- the entire particle system will be replaced with geometry nodes
