Hi,                                                                                                      
                                                                                                         
I am orphaning krb5-appl in Fedora in the hopes that it will be retired.                                 
                                                                                                         
These packages will likely be officially deprecated upstream soon, and                                   
probably should not be used in most cases anyway.  It contains legacy                                    
kerberized utilities, like rsh.  There are no packages which depend                                      
them.  There have been no changes to this package in Fedora since 2013,                                  
and no new capabilities upstream since 2010 when it branched from the                                    
mainline krb5 distribution.                                                                              
                                                                                                         
I would strongly prefer that these be allowed to fade away in order to                                   
further discourage their use in keeping with what other distributions                                    
have done.                                                                                               
                                                                                                         
Thanks,
