Agreed.  I'd kept it in for Lucid just so we'd have it available in one
last LTS for anyone who might possibly need it, and figured we could
drop it any time after that.

Aside from that, -evtouch is the only one in that list that I've found
many people trying to use in the past, but I think by this point it's so
heavily outdated that I'd worry leaving it in would just lead poor
people astray.
