I am sad and disappointed how this went down. This is a package that
Workstation is clearly interested in, as various people pointed out in
the FESCo meeting. Yet, the decision to drop it was rushed without
consulting the Workstation WG or even asking the package maintainers
(madko in Fedora, ohaessler in EPEL) to come to the meeting to discuss this.

And it all went down in less than 8 hours, from the filing of the FESco
ticket to the blocking of the package.

Kalev, sad panda.
