FESCo Proposal for blocking older version of autoconf & automake

That's it!

OK, by Fedora 10 we need to start removing all sorts of not 'current'
things that aren't up to modern standards.

First, toolkits! 

We need to remove gtk1, qt3, and for pete's sake, Xaw and Xaw3d. All
are obsolete, and users and developers are best served by upgrading
to more recent toolkits such as Qt4 and GTK2.

The following 258 packages need ported by Fedora 10, or they will
be removed:

Next step, languages. (That can follow in a different mail.)
After all, who needs old stuff like tcl, fortran, or Ada when we have
python, ruby, and C?
