I was made aware that EOL software with known security bugs that will
not be fixed upstream (due to EOL status) was reviewed and accepted into

Fedora relies on EOLed components pretty much across the system (including critical security functionality), so one more such package really isn't the end of the world. I think new packages should not be held to tremendously higher standards than existing packages.
