Sorry, hit send too soon.

Basically, maintaining a "properly done" package of deno for Fedora
would be a full-time job, because of the sheer number of individual
components, which also mostly need to be updated in a coordinated
fashion. Which is why I only had time to do the initial packaging for
COPR, and one big batch of updates, but then fell behind upstream
releases, just because it's just so time-consuming.
