Replying to [comment:1 pnemade]:
Note the root cause of all these package removals is rpmdevtools
package
which is long ago orphaned and still co-owned by users ausil and kevin. If
you want re-again add fontpackages in EPEL5 then you may want to own
rpmdevtools also otherwise till would love to remove these font related
packages.
I do not love to remove the packages, but would like maintainers to adopt
the relevant packages when they are still required instead of just leaving
them in an unmaintained state. Also you probably need to unretire the
dependencies, otherwise nobody will be able to use fontpackages.
