The suitable replacement is still available in the repositories.  The
release note can say:

An application installed by default in Fedora 13, "pino" was removed
because the site no longer allows access.
For more information, see:

As a replacement, you can access previously supported sites
(identi.ca, Twitter, etc.) via their respective web sites, or by
installing one of several replacement applications such as "gwibber".
