Going purely by upstream support status, yes, GConf2 should be retired;
it’s been obsolete for a decade.
Going by dependent packages, it’s not so simple. Some of these
dependencies are no doubt spurious, optional, or otherwise “removable;”
others are real hard dependencies from outdated-but-still-useful
application packages.

I was looking through the list for any of my packages, and I've found
that I'm "maintaining" long dead packages like
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/GConf2
Should this package be retired?
