I plan to retire packages that were already announced 3 times next Monday.
Which packages?
llvm5.0 jistone, orphan, tstellar 0 weeks ago
This is needed for ARM by ghc:8.4 and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_8.4
llvm6.0 orphan, tstellar 0 weeks ago
This is needed on ARM by ghc:8.6.
I have to say I am not really enjoying this ongoing aggressive package retirement process.
If packages are not broken and needed by other packages, then I don't see why we are hurrying to break things.
I think a better process might be for maintainers orphaning packages to contact dependent package maintainers directly asking them to take over the package they want to drop.
