Otherwise we'll start dropping games. Sure (and not limited to games, which are in optional packages, however). We do that all the time, if a package maintainer no longer considers a game (or package in general) worthwhile, and if nobody else volunteers to take over a package. Of course, you're free to adapt as many orphans as you like, whether actively maintained upstream or ancient. Eventually, you'll be in the same situation, where you would like to drop something, be it a completely optional package or a plugin [*] you consider useless, close to useless, or just broken. [*] or a program with alternative user-interfaces -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
