 Discussed here:

     On December 17, 2014, EpSCO will be cleaning out the EPEL repositories
 of all orphaned packages. Packages that are orphaned will be removed and
 all packages depending on those orphaned packages will be removed from the
 repository. Packagers requiring packages need to take over orphaned
 packages.

 I can take care of retiring packages, but I am not sure whether I will be
 able to do it exactly on the specified day.
