Once packages have been blocked the procedure is to require a review similar to getting a new package into Fedora.

There really needs to be a grace period there. Some problems, such as dependencies broken by the removal, will only get noticed after the package is retired.
(By the way, why were packages retired regardless of dependencies in this round? In the past, only the leaf packages were dropped at first, and for the others, the maintainers of dependent packages were asked whether to pick up the dependencies or retire the dependent packages.)
