I think we should orphan the packages, for couple of reasons:

1. It's easier to find orphaned packages compared to retired packages
2. When we unretire, we will give the package to the requestor, but it
might still leave the non-main maintainers (which I think is wrong?)

I know you already mentioned - The script checks *all* branches in PDC
and ensure that they are all "active=False", this is very important
and please re-verify, as we dont want to orphan EPEL only packages as
well as packages that are still being maintained in released branches
but retired in rawhide.

Thanks.
