I've been talking with Garrett (gholms) about the important

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:
