The problem was new features. The option was either to retire pkgdb and
move on, or implement new features in pkgdb at large development
time/cost. There were several things pkgdb couldn't handle, I can't
recall them all, but stream branches was a big one.
Well, there *was* a third option: wait until pagure reached feature
parity with pkgdb before implementing new features like stream
expansion.
But in any case, I'm really glad that we do now finally have anitya
integration and easy de-orphaning back in pkgdb. Thanks to everyone
who made this happen!
