If you need it and no replacement is available for you - even if it gets moved to Extras you'd still be able to rely on it provided someone (maybe own fine self) maintains it. Given that it's not likely to see updates it should be a relatively easy task to support. Regardless you should be just fine using it for now, if it does indeed need to go away in the future I'm sure a suitable replacement will be available or some kind of Extras maintainership will be set in place for developers. Especially if this goes RHEL5 since that means 7 years of support from Red Hat, they'll need it to stick around as well, dividing the work between Extras and Red Hat would benefit everyone. - David Nielsen -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
