Well, in fact I want to retire this package, guidelines disallows
something with porn. And, as this pkg release a version per day, it's
really hard to maintain it and after some updates more porn sites may
be introduced also. On the
other hand, this package has self-update function, I cannot ensure
porn extractors are still disappeared after updating.
On the contrary, this type of software has been explicitly permitted
by the Fedora Board:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503013#c21
So you are not required to remove it from the package collection. If
it is possible to split off the porn sites into a subpackage you may
do so, but nothing requires you to.
If you're still not interested in maintaining it, please orphan it
instead of retiring it. I find this package very useful and would be
happy to take it over.
