I'd like to retire kudzu for F-13.
Why?
- There are places where it almost certainly does not work with current kernels
- It's so deprecated that one of its replacements (HAL) has since been frozen and deprecated
- Given that, its upstream is very dead
However, it is still being required by two programs:
- hwbrowser
- fwfstab
If someone wants to keep it limping along for thsese two programs I can orphan it. But I'd really rather just retire it.
It appears that system-config-network 's dependency on kudzu may have been incorrectly dropped:

without it, s-c-n cannot handle modem connections, it looks like.
