I don't think devoid was ever really a problem, but it was sold as a mechanic when it really wasn't. It's functionally identical to Ghostfire's colorless mana identity, but once you label it with a keyword, people expect more from it than mere labeling. I don't think it's a big fault simply because it's really not obvious that people would react that way, but basically it would have all been solved if they had found a visual symbol to use to indicate the colorless mana identity instead of keywording it.

It also only has flavor significance, for the most part, so unless it was on a setting with a heavy colorlessness theme, even colorless mana identity isn't likely to come back.
