I want to retire shmpps in Fedora 16+, leaving it in F15 and EPEL. I
haven't retired a package, so I wanted to double check the process. I
should just retire the F16 and devel branches and that will leave the
rest active, right?
I'm retiring it because it is no longer needed. shmpps is a hack to get
PPS time signals into ntpd on systems without kernel PPS support. The
Linux kernel now has PPS support, and Fedora 16 includes the userspace
tools, so I don't see any reason to keep this package around.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
