I think by 'new' here, you mean unreleased versions of these. Given that
libosinfo releases end up as stable updates in released distros (this is
the case in fedora at least), I think it's premature to remove the rule
altogether. It seems to already be disabled be default unless --with-udev
is used. Maybe we can add a warning that this is deprecated when using
util-linux vXX and systemd vYY and keep the rule for now? We could also
potentially add another switch --with-deprecated-udev rule switch to make
sure distros notice this is going away. Another way would be a udev version
check, and error out with new udev and --with-udev.

All in all, I think just removing it is very premature, especially as there
are users of this rule (boxes). I'm all for documented it's deprecated one
way or another.
