#4607: Blocking java-gnome in F15+rawhide

The package java-gnome has not been ported to GNOME 3 yet. It therefore
neither builds nor works from F15 and on (and I'm not expecting this to
change before F15 is released). It's also causing a lot of broken deps
emails.
Thus the F14 builds (java-gnome-4.0.16-3.fc14.*.rpm) needs to be removed
from the F15+devel repos. Probably some other steps are needed as well.
I would however like to continue maintaining it on older branches (will do
an update soon), possibly do an EPEL6 branch and I would also like to have
the option to perform scratch builds and push it as an update to F15 and
beyond in the future.
Should I do the whole dead.package thing as described at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life or is
there some other less "final" removal procedure that I or releng can
perform so that I can still work on the F15 and master branches and so
that they can be resurrected in the future?
