I think this might be something that rises to the level of a
Change ("Officially Deprecate net-tools in Fedora"), and while working
with upstreams is going to be necessary, I think having a Fedora
tracker could be useful, if you're interested in putting in that
effort.

Probably FESCo rather than FPC, unless we're going to ban depending on
net-tools or something like that.
