Since I was looking at a copy of the F30 repo for amd64, here's a list

of these are incompletely retired or there's otherwise some good reason
for it, this is just to raise visibility.

Almost half of these are noarch packages (178 out of 441---see list at the bottom).

For instance, dia-gnomeDIAicons is a noarch package, specifically data for 'dia' diagram editor. It actually works, and even contains reasonable and useful network diagram icons.

Its packaging _is_ confusing because the actual icon collection is called RIB-network.

What could be the reason that a noarch package was not rebuilt for newer release? It's just a bunch of files...

dia-gnomeDIAicons specifically appears to be in some sort of weird state. No builds appear to have been *attempted* since F21.

Also it has a source rpm checked into dist-git.  :P
