Sunset libvirt-snmp?

It's been a while since libvirt-snmp was actively developed. Now it
receives only libvirt-ci related commits. The code compiles with
net-snmp-5.9.3 but the freshly released net-snmp-5.9.4 [1] breaks
compilation [2]. Now, libvirt-snmp has this crazy architecture, where
some sources are manually generated from src/LIBVIRT-MIB.txt, then
edited (added code to talk to libvirt) and then added to git.

This is labor extensive and since I don't think libvirt-snmp is actually
used I'd like to sunset it. According to repology [3] only Gentoo (and
its clones) has the latest version (released ~5 years ago). And I doubt
it has any real users there.

Thoughts?
