The reasoning was that upstream ships imagery that is in violation of Fedora's policy not to ship offensive material. We gave the upstream maintainer two weeks to remove that imagery and update the package and have now extended that through Monday. Moreover, Toshio Kuratomi has now gone and used his provenpackager powers[1] to remove these offensive images and rebuild, which means that the package will remain. As for it being overkill: Fedora has policies for a reason. Regardless of the utility of a particular package, if its presence in the distribution is offensive (and thereby risks alienating users and contributors or potentially leading to legal action), then it has to be dealt with accordingly.
