I just upgraded my workstation to F40 and it surprised how many packages were reported by `remove-retired-packages`. There was lots of orphaned packages - there is nothing to do about them. But there was lot of packages that were removed intentionally. See the list at the end of my email. I want to highlight that we have policy for removing policy https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement_Process/#complete_removal which at the end mention adding the package to https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-obsolete-packages Doing this will improve the experience of users upgrading to the next Fedora version.
Sorry, I missed this step for some of my packages. Is there still time to add packages to fedora-obsolete-packages for f41? -Tom
