id3lib also needs to be looked at, as it's upstream has been defunct

This one might hurt more than ksensors will, since several programs
depend on id3lib.
This is a list of the programs that require id3lib:
audio-convert-mod
easytag
tagtool
id3lib-devel
id3v2
gmediaserver
liblicense-modules
kid3
grip
The list is alot shorter than I thought it would be, but it's still
enough to cause problems.
Is there anyone willing to take up upstream development of id3lib?
Is there a possible (more active) replacement for id3lib?
Is there a valid reason for continuing to carry such a defunct package
in Fedora?
s/defunct/old/ - and yes there is a valid reason - 8 or so at least, see
your list of packages above ;)
I'm more than happy to continue maintaining id3lib if there is a valid
reason to do so,
but my reasons are more sentimental than valid logical reasoning.
So I turn to you to answer that question:
Is there valid, logical, reasoning to continue to support such old code?
Yes, because other useful packages depend on it IMHO.
I'll take it if you don't want to keep it, I think that library needs to
live on in Fedora.
