      These two are used as BRs (at least) of python-wxpython4.  Of
      course, they
      are used for tests, so we could probably stop running the tests
      if you
      really need them to be retired.


I am not needing them retired. I am wanting to make sure they are wanted by
the maintainer to be in EPEL8. If they are then it can stay.

Well, I don't personally use python-wxpython4 in EPEL8, but someone must have requested it, otherwise I wouldn't have built it. :) Presumbly I brought along python-pytest-forked and python-pytest-xdist for python-wxpython4 (or some other request; python-pytest-xdist has already been requested in EPEL9, for example).

Note, I typically don't update the packages I maintain in EPEL unless requested or to fix a bug (as seems consistent with an LTS/enterprise release), so the fact that they haven't been updated since import doesn't mean I don't care. :-)
