Comment (by till):

 Replying to [comment:1 pnemade]:
 > Note the root cause of all these package removals is rpmdevtools package
 which is long ago orphaned and still co-owned by users ausil and kevin. If
 you want re-again add fontpackages in EPEL5 then you may want to own
 rpmdevtools also otherwise till would love to remove these font related
 packages.

 I do not love to remove the packages, but would like maintainers to adopt
 the relevant packages when they are still required instead of just leaving
 them in an unmaintained state. Also you probably need to unretire the
 dependencies, otherwise nobody will be able to use fontpackages.
