  CentOS is a free Redhat clone.  Zeroconf (Avahi) is Lennart-ware that
you-know-who got into Redhat's OS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_%28software%29  It's probably
impossible to pull Avahi out of Redhat / CentOS, just like with Systemd
and Pulseaudio.

  It should not be mandatory in Gentoo, per se.  If you have avahi
installed, try "emerge -p --depclean avahi" first, before doing it for
real.
