Re: Orphaning packages (was LibreOffice packages)

As part of the same process outlined in Matthias Clasen's
"LibreOffice

multimedia applications (namely totem, rhythmbox and sound-juicer) and
libfprint/fprintd is being stopped, and all the rest of my upstream and
downstream work will be reassigned depending on Red Hat's own priorities,
as I am transferred to another team.
So Red Hat is essentially killing all work on desktop packages, not just on
LibreOffice? Also considering that several of those packages are libraries
that cannot just be put on Flathub as LibreOffice can (which was their
excuse for terminating all work on LibreOffice packaging).
With the layoff and the destruction of the position of the Fedora Program
Manager, the termination of public RHEL source releases, and this move, Red
Hat is really turning into an unfriendly company, and I really have to
wonder whether Fedora is going to be of any use to me in the long run.
