 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?
