As I have stated several times, I do not see this process as a productive or
useful thing to do. It can prevent useful software from going into Fedora
just because it has been written by upstream some time ago and not
immediately packaged. It will not magically port any software to newer
libraries, just prevent it from entering Fedora for no good reason.
To put it bluntly, I believe package deprecation should not exist or be
allowed at all.
