Upstream discontinuing it, doesn't mean that it stops working. So as long as it is known to work in Fedora and has users, deciding to keep shipping it is one possible valid outcome. Depends whether the maintainer wants the burden of dealing with tickets themselves, without support from upstream. If Fedora drops zfs-fuse, then we would disable that part in libvirt builds in Fedora too.
