Fedora Engineering Steering Committee is considering removal of
packages
from rawhide who have been without owners since prior to Fedora 8
sometime after the next FESCO meeting on November 29th. The Fedora
Project routinely removes unmaintained packages from future
distributions in order to responsibly scale the growth of maintenance
burden with developer resources available within the project.

Packages listed on this page are scheduled for removal unless an
existing Fedora maintainer claims ownership.
The following packages were orphaned by me *after* the F8 release specifically
because I thought that'd help them from being garbage collected almost
immediately (yes, from devel), so something is inconsistent with the two
paragraphs above.
gkrellm-weather, libid3tag, openct, opensc, pcsc-perl, pcsc-tools
Also, as far as I know, the cdiff package has already been orphaned and pruned
from the repos since FE-4. It should not be brought back, colordiff replaces
it.
