Intent to orphan krb5-appl*

[Robbie Harwood]

Hi,                                                                             
                         
                                                                                
                         
I am orphaning krb5-appl in Fedora in the hopes that it will be retired.        
                         
                                                                                
                         
These packages will likely be officially deprecated upstream soon, and          
                         
probably should not be used in most cases anyway.  It contains legacy           
                         
kerberized utilities, like rsh.  There are no packages which depend             
                         
them.  There have been no changes to this package in Fedora since 2013,         
                         
and no new capabilities upstream since 2010 when it branched from the           
                         
mainline krb5 distribution.                                                     
                         
                                                                                
                         
I would strongly prefer that these be allowed to fade away in order to          
                         
further discourage their use in keeping with what other distributions           
                         
have done.                                                                      
                         
                                                                                
                         
Thanks,
