According to upstream it implement's systemd's fallback path as
explained in this comment.
https://github.com/eudev-project/eudev/issues/249#issuecomment-1675520914
However its fully possible to use Gentoo without requiring sticky-tags
so I don't really see the urgency that requires removing software that
has users that find it works for them. We even have the most recent
upstream release which came out only a few months ago.
