I just upgraded my workstation to F40 and it surprised how many
packages were reported by `remove-retired-packages`.
There was lots of orphaned packages - there is nothing to do about them. But there was
lot of packages that were removed
intentionally. See the list at the end of my email.
I want to highlight that we have policy for removing policy
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retireme...
which at the end mention adding the package to
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-obsolete-packages
Thanks for raising this. It was not clear to me these cases should be
completely removed.
I created a PR hoping to make it clear:
