Well, it’s possible that these packages will find a new primary maintainer in Fedora: one of the current co-maintainers, one of the maintainers of the mentioned dependent packages, or some other Fedora packager who has an interest in them.
If that doesn’t happen, and the packages end up being retired for the next release of Fedora, then the best workaround if you were using the system packages in your own work would indeed be to install from PyPI instead (not system-wide, preferably into a virtualenv).
Pure-Python libraries like this are usually packaged and
maintained mostly to support particular applications in Fedora
(perhaps very indirectly) rather than out of a desire to offer
system versions of as many PyPI packages as possible.
Ben,Thank you for your service!Would the workaround be to install from pypi instead?

I’m orphaning python-opentelemetry and the following related packages:
- python-opentelemetry-contrib
- python-opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray
- python-opentelemetry-resource-detector-azure
- python-opentelemetry-sdk-extension-aws
The packages are inherently messy, but are in good condition. However,
they are a bit fussy to maintain, and I no longer maintain anything that
relies on them, so I’m choosing to use my time elsewhere.
This will affect python-elastic-transport, which depends on
python3dist(opentelemetry-api) and python3dist(opentelemetry-sdk) from
python-opentelemetry; and it will affect python-sentry-sdk, which
depends on python3dist(opentelemetry-distro).
Maintainers of those affected packages have received this email
directly; so have co-maintainers of the orphaned packages.
An update to the latest versions of python-opentelemetry and
python-opentelemetry-contrib will require dealing with some issues
around old protobuf and grpc versions in Fedora; see
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-opentelemetry/pull-request/19.
