Certainly not in Fedora. > Modules are not removed from RHEL repositories either. The difference is that in RHEL they stop being supported. That's something what Fedora has not yet experienced. Bedides EPEL. I think that packages in EPEL are sometimes rebased to incompatible versions and what happen with the unneded dependencies of the old versions is not clear to me.
