I note that iozone was removed from Fedora back in the F-9 days due to license issues, but it's still being shipped by EPEL.
I'm not sure if this is an oversight, or if EPEL somehow gets a pass on this, or if the situation is more complex. Our procedure of killing a package in devel and letting it age out of Fedora doesn't really work for EPEL, it seems.

This needs to be killed in EPEL as well. We should make sure it doesn't end up in future repodata, as painful as that is.

I've dead.package'd it and requested that it be nuked from the next push.
It looks like that's what needs to happen in the future for EPEL; would you happen to have a list of packages pulled from Fedora for license issues so that we (I) can check that they're not still in EPEL?

Unfortunately not, although, I suspect that most of them are listed in the old wiki page for retired packages.
