It recently came to my attention that the klee package in EPEL 9
needed to be rebuilt against the LLVM 15 library that shipped in RHEL
9.2. I filed a bug for this [0], and then noticed it was assigned to
"Orphan Owner". It looks like the maintainer retired it from Fedora
[1][2] due the upstream not being compatible with LLVM 15 [3]. I am
not the maintainer of this package, but I intend to retire this
package from EPEL 9 to avoid having a package with installation issue
lingering around. The EPEL retirement policy [4] doesn't cover this
exact scenario, so I plan to bring it up for discussion at the next
EPEL Steering Committee meeting. We could delay the retirement for
one week (the policy for security-related retirements) or two weeks
(the policy for lack-of-time retirements), but my preference would be
to retire it ASAP.

Since it hasn't been able to be installed since RHEL 9.2 came out, I'm not opposed to doing it ASAP.
Especially since they not only orphaned it, but they retired it back in January. And nobody came forward to "unorphan" it back then.
But, since it's not installable, so nobody is going to accidentally install it, there is no rush either.
Either way is fine by me.
