I understand that we should put "Obsoletes" statements in a spec file when a
package changes its name, so the package with the new name can replace the package with
the old name.
But how long should the Obsoletes statements be left in the spec file? Should
they stay there permanently, or should they be removed after some period of
time, say after a few years?
In particular, the KiCAD documentation used to be in a dozen packages, one per
language. Between Fedora 23 and Fedora 24, this was changed, and all languages
were placed in a single package, and Obsoletes lines were added so the new
combined doc package could replace the individual language packages. Should
those Obsoletes be left in the spec file, or is it ok to remove them, given
that the name change happened 5 years ago?
