It doesn't seem to be removed (yet?) - Pagure says it's maintained by @prgutier
and there is no retirement commit: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/virtme

Actually, it appears that all the command-line progs provided by virtme are
already provided by virtme-ng with the same names and the CLI seems compatible
(I think only --xen is missing from virtme-run, which is probably not too
important). So fully replacing virtme with virtme-ng indeed seems to be the way
to go (if Priscilla agrees).

Anyway, what would be the logistics of replacing a package like this? First
introduce virtme-ng with Obsoletes+Provides, then wait for it to get into a
compose, and then retire virtme? What about stable releases? Keep virtme there
and have virtme-ng with Conflicts: virtme if %{fedora} < 40?
