Comment (by kalev):

 I would like to add here that when it comes to retiring packages with
 broken deps, that should be done not only in Branched, but Rawhide too.
 The reason for this is that if something is broken in Branched, it's very
 likely to be broken in the same way in Rawhide too. If we don't clean up
 Rawhide, it soon becomes a broken mess that is difficulty to develop or
 use.

 This is also what FESCo decided when it was discussed during the F21
 cycle:

 {{{
 AGREED: FESCo agrees to dropping the packages with broken dependencies
 listed in #1368 from both F21 and rawhide (+7, -0, 0:0)

 AGREED: We will do the broken deps cleanup on Final Freeze from now on in
 the future Fedora releases (+8, -0, 0:0)

 There will be warning sent to the affected maintainers at least 3 weeks in
 advance (t8m, 19:31:36)
 }}}
