 Per Brandon Vincent:
 >> All,
 >>
 >> I am with the Fedora Project Security Team and we've noticed some
 >> outstanding security issues regarding wordpress-mu.
 >>
 >> For a detailed explanation of the security issues please see Bugzilla
 >> reports [1] and [2].
 >>
 >> wordpress-mu is no longer maintained by upstream and has been merged
 >> into the regular WordPress source code.
 >>
 >> Ideally, the wordpress-mu package and associated plug in packages
 >> should be removed from the EPEL repositories because of their
 >> vulnerable nature.
 >>
 >> [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687910

 >>
 >> We would appreciate your effort in depreciating these packages.

 Thanks!
