I've been talking with Garrett (gholms) about the important vulnerability affecting eucalyptus. Turns out eucalyptus is crazy complex to package and the purpose for packaging euca has passed. He's going to orphan the packages and we'll likely be able to discontinue it in Fedora. This will affect three vulnerabilites (1 Important, 2 Mediums).
Out of curiosity, what exactly do "discontinue" mean here? Retire it from released and still supported Fedora versions, or only from future (21+)? I know packages get removed from EPEL, I'm not sure if / how often that happens in Fedora.
Btw, the retirement process is documented here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life
