That option is needed on Gentoo to let it catch oui.txt file present
on /usr/share/misc/oui.txt, could it be re-added to prevent us from
needing to sed src/oui.c looking for that file in our location?

Thanks a lot

as I said above, udev's hwdb. Check udevadm hwdb for a command line
example too. Also src/oui.c is pretty obvious in that regard.

And what is replacing oui.txt? udev directly?

or you build against a recent version of udev that comes with hwdb
support. Then it will actually start using the efficient version of
reading the OUI values from this file.

There is no plan to keep support for oui.txt for very long. It is still
supported as transition period, but that is about it.
