That can't be the full story. Why has the GStreamer 0.10.x framework been
removed without checking for dependency breakage and without warning packagers
about it? All I can see is that releng has rebuilt the packages during the F31
cycle, and later the build dependencies have been removed from the dist, so
the packages cannot even be rebuilt anymore.

Currently, no gstreamer1* package contains Obsoletes tags that would
retire those packages properly. It seems to me that the guidelines have
not been followed at all:
