To make this a little more verbose, sys-fs/{udev,systemd,eudev}
themselves still have those flags in their ebuilds.  It's just the way
dependency atoms on virtuals that have changed, in terms of how they
map say, a need for a USE="introspection"-enabled libgudev to
sys-fs/eudev[gudev,introspection].

The functionality isn't gone, it's just referenced differently now.
