Why not leave the decision to the new maintainers then?
I do not see a good reason to prevent adding software depending on pcre (1)
as long as somebody maintains pcre (1) in Fedora and is willing to apply
security patches when needed.
Considering that it is far from a drop-in replacement, whether to move a
dependent package to pcre2 is ultimately an upstream decision, not a Fedora
one. Hence, declaring pcre (1) off-limits means that maintainers can be
effectively blocked by policy from importing upstream software that is not
yet packaged in Fedora.
