Modules are not removed from RHEL repositories either. The difference is that
in RHEL they stop being supported. That's something what Fedora has not yet
experienced.

Bedides EPEL. I think that packages in EPEL are sometimes rebased to
incompatible versions and what happen with the unneded dependencies of the old
versions is not clear to me. I think they are marked as a dead package in
dist-git and blocked from Koji. But do they disappear from the repository? If
the stable repository is based on Koji blocked status, then then should the
removed.
