Packages in fedora using those would have been breaking the guidelines
Sure but then e2fsprogs has been doing just that for too long as well ;)
quite badly. The issue is whether any user of fedora uses them for

For that I'm inclined to drop the libs and people can ask if they need them.
We default to "no," right ...
